How can you execute multiple statements in Perl when perl expects one
statement?
Like I thought this would work:
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql::$mysql_host", $mysql_user,
$mysql_pass)
or {
print "print statement before dying\n";
die "Can't connect, $DBI::errstr\n";
}
But it doesn't work, I get syntax error, so how could I say:
or:
execute statement one;
and execute statement two;
end of condition.
my $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:mysql::$mysql_host", $mysql_user, $mysql_pass )
or do {
print "print statement before dying\n";
die "Can't connect, $DBI::errstr\n";
};
