Help with my first package??

[Miretsky, Anya]

I am trying to write a package that will execute a sql statement for me in
my cgi pages, the following is the code for the package, but when I run it
at the command prompt I get error messages about the first line where I set
the $dsn. I think the problem is with the  use of DBI. The sql that I pass
to this package does not get executed. I call the package on my cgi page
with:

$s = GetRecords->Execute_SQL($sql);

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?



package GetRecords;


use DBI;

sub Execute_SQL{


        
        my ($dsn) = "DBI:mysql:getgreen:localhost";
        my ($user_name) = "anya";
        my ($password) = "anya";
        my ($dbh, $sth);
        my ($result, @ary, @matrix);
        my ($sql);

                
        $sql = shift @_;
        if ($sql){
                #EXECUTE QUERY 
                $dbh = DBI->connect ($dsn, $user_name, $password,
{RaiseError=>0})
                        or die "Could not connect to
server:$DBI::err($DBI::errstr)\n";
                $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
                $sth->execute(); 
                $result = 1 if ($sth);
                return $result;
        }
                
}       
                
1;



Thanks in advance for your help.
