Hello,

My host says that they have installed the DBI module but when I try and test it I don't get any response.--Just a blank page. Am I doing anything wrong or is the problem with my host and the module installation?


Filename: k.pl
Permissions: 0755 
#!/usr/bin/perl  -w
use DBI;

$db="accountname_webapp";
$host="localhost";
$user="accountname_webadmi";
$password="password"; 

my $dbh   = DBI->connect ("DBI:mysql:database=$db:host=$host",
                           $user,
                           $password) 
                           or die "Can't connect to database: $DBI::er
+rstr\n";

$dbh->disconnect or warn "Disconnection error: $DBI::errstr\n";

exit;
