Well, so I thought I might check into this further so I ran this code with "perl -d" and the last part of that output is as follows:

  DB<1>
dsn: DBI:mysql:database=ssis;host=128.83.153.43
main::(mysql_connect.pl:21):    $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn,$dbuser,$dbpa
+ss) or die
 "couldn't connect to $dbhost: " . DBI->errstr . "\n";
  DB<1> x $dbh
0  undef
  DB<2> n
Signal SEGV at C:/Perl/site/lib/DBI.pm line 486
        DBI::connect('DBI', 'DBI:mysql:database=ssis;host=1.2.3.4', 'u
+ser', 
'pass') called at mysql_connect.pl line 21

Any thoughts on the SEGV?
