Hey guys I have a problem setting up a new webserver. Mysql 5.7 didnt work on Sierra so I am trying 5.6.

I have my webservice is up and running.
I have my mailservice is up and running.
I have my database set up and use Navicat to connect. All is fine.
Executing a perlscript on the website gives the following error: 
[client 213.125.161.115:50545] AH01215: Can't call method "prepare" on
+ an undefined value at /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/bonriche/te
+st.cgi line 57.: /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/bonriche/test.cgi

[download]
This is where the code is truing to connect to the database at: http://www.bonriche.com/cgi-bin/bonriche/test.cgi

Mysql is here: op/local/var/db/mysql56

System: MacOs Sierra 10.12.6

Perl:
perl5 @5.24.2_0+perl5_24 (active)
perl5.24 @5.24.2_0 (active)

p5-cgi @4.360.0_0 (active)
p5-dbd-mysql @4.43.0_0 (active)
p5-dbi @1.637.0_0 (active)

mysql56 @5.6.34_0 (active)
mysql56-server @5.6.34_0 (active)
mysql_select @0.1.2_3 (active)

I am lost, where do I fix this problem? Anyone?

KInd regards,

Ton
