in thread MySQL Table adding with Perl

Unfortunately with the addition of that line, there was no output. The scripts runs without error. Thanks Corion for the advice about the passwords, I will definitely keep that in mind.

    Your code cannot run at all:

    $maketable = ("CREATE TABLE $newuser (A,B,C,D,E)");

    This is not valid SQL (except maybe in SQLite). But that doesn't matter because you never run that statement.

    $sth = execute();

    This should never work. You need to call the ->execute() method on your statement handle. Unless you also have defined (but not shown to us) a subroutine with the name execute.

      After the change it is responding with errors. Sorry, beginner Perl programmer mistake. Thanks for the answer!
