Hi there,

I'm using DBI to connect to an MySQL database to report statuses from several machines. This works excellent except for some occasions. It seems DBI crashes on opening without producing an error, or am I using wrong code.

I don't want to use the die option as I like to close things myself and take action if neccesary

# Connect to MySQL server 
$Dbh = DBI->connect($DSN, $Config{'MYSQL_USER'}, $Config{'MYSQL_PASSWD
+'}, { PrintError => 0, RaiseError => 0 });
if ($DBI::err)
{ if ($Dbh) { $Dbh->disconnect}
  print "Error! we had an error connecting to CMS DB: ".$DBI::errstr; 
+     
}

# continue code

Thanks in advance

Albert
