The script works fine on my Redhat 6.2 box, but as soon as I upload my script to my ISP, I get this error

So, you're using mysql on your own redhat box, with your own set of tables, and you have a particular way of connecting to that database in your perl script.

Are you sure that mysql is running on your ISP host? If so, do you know for sure that you have the same database setup there as you have on your local box? (Same connection parameters, same tables/schema?)

(update: or am I clueless about something here... Is it the case that your script, once it's uploaded to the ISP host, is supposed to be connecting back to your own mysql server on your redhat box? If so, as tachyon indicated, it's just a matter of debugging the "connect()" call. It's likely that you need to alter one or more of the parameters in that call to make the connection work from the ISP host.)
