Hi, I am trying to connect to remote database. The snippet of the code is:

 
use strict;
use DBI;
use Test::More qw( no_plan ) ;
use Data::Dumper;

my $host = 'example.com';
my $port = '3306';
my $db = 'calls';
my $user = 'username';
my $password = 'password';
my $data_source = "DBI:mysql:database=" . $db . ":host=" . $host . ":p
+ort=" . $port;
my $dbh = DBI->connect($data_source,$user,$password,{ PrintError => 0}
+);
if(!$dbh) {
        print "Connection to Database Failed\n";
        exit -1;
}
[download]

When i execute the script i get the following error: install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (@INC contains ........

my mysql and DBI package is up and running.

Manually installed the DBD module and copied it into the perl repository.

From CPAN i get:

cpan> install DBD::mysql
DBD::mysql is up to date (4.023).
[download]

From PPM i get:

ppm install DBD::mysql
No missing packages to install
[download]

Even when i execute the command

perl -e "use DBD::mysql";
[download]

i get the following error: Can't locate loadable object for module DBD::mysql in @INC......

perl -e "print @INC"; gives me the location of perl library where DBD module is installed. i don't know how to resolve the issue.
