Hi all , I am newbie to perl , My scenario is m having an array of host .

In a loop i am creating DNS and connection to database . But if any host is not responding or down , then that loop is getting break and remaining host not able to connect .

My question is how can i skip that means if any host is not able to connect then i want to skip that host and want to connect with other one...Or try to reconnect that host again ...

snippet of code is given bellow

  @arr_ =('host1','host2');
foreach $host (@arr_){
   @Mydsn =("dbi:mysql:$MYSQL_DATABASE:$host:$MYSQL_PORT","$MYSQL_USER
+","$MYSQL_PWD");

my $my_connection =  DBI->connect(@Mydsn, { RaiseError => 0, PrintErro
+r => 1 } )  or die("Fail to connect Database  connection");
 ### Here how can i skip if mysql is not able to connect with breaking
+ execution of script

}
