I'm trying to get the perl script below to write to my database. It didn't work and the error log showed that it got hung up at line 8 (use DBI). any ideas why? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl -w my $name = 'mel'; my $email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; my $score = '10'; use strict; use CGI qw(:standard); use DBI; # change undef(s) to username and password if required my $dbh->connect('DBI:mysql:afp','root', 'wolly'); my $sth=$dbh->prepare(" INSERT INTO afplist VALUES (?,?,?) "); $sth->execute($name, $email, $score) || die "execute insert failed"; $sth->finish(); ............................................
