Monks, I seek a quick fix!


I am familiar with, and have put to good use, the DBI connection command: 

my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:db_name', 'user', 'pass') or die "Co
+uldn't open database: $DBI::errstr";

Here come's the tricky-ness. I have registered a new domain name and hosted it with the same company. I want my script to be run on this new domain and put the results in the same database as the old domain.

Seems a logical request as I can provide my webhost the db_name, db_user, and db_pass for my desired database. Yet, no beans. Password denied, access denied.

Is there a way I can trick the mySQL database into thinking this info is all coming from a "legit" source. Is there some parameter I can add that says "connect to this and say you're from domain1" instead of from my new domain?

My thanks for your efforts in advance, as always.
