What can be wrong in this syntax? I want to create a user and grant some rights in a MySQL database (8.0) using the latest DBD driver


    my $user = 'somename';     
    my $password="0123";
    my $db ="test";
    my $host="localhost";

    print "Connecting to terminology database $db as $user... ";
    my $dsn = "DBI:mysql:$db:$host:$port";
    my %attr = (PrintError=>0, RaiseError=>1);
    my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn,$Superuser,$pass, \%attr);
    print "done!\n";

    my $sql;
    print "Creating user $user\n";
        $sql = 'CREATE USER ?@? IDENTIFIED BY ?';
        $dbh->do($sql, undef, $user, "localhost", $password); 
    print "done!\n";
    
    print "Granting user $user some rights\n";
    $sql = 'GRANT ALL ON $db.* TO ?@? IDENTIFIED BY ?';
    $dbh->do(q{GRANT ALL ON ?.* TO ?@? IDENTIFIED BY ?}, {}, $db, $use
+r, $host, $password);
    print "done!\n";

I connect to the database as "root", so it should have all the privileges. I get the following

Connecting to terminology database test as root... done!
Creating user somename
done!
Granting user somename some rights
