in thread Timeout problems (DBI)

Well, I've got the problem figured out now... It's not a Perl problem, but a MySQL problem. It's an Access Denied error. No idea why, but I'm still looking around. I can log into 'mysql' via command prompt, however doing the trouble shooting, I can't change my password in it =P I'll still keep messing with it. Since it's not a Perl issue, not worth keeping this going, however I'll still take any input. Thanks for the help =)

EDIT: I've fixed this somewhat; the program just hangs now, doing nothing... it hangs at the connect command. Can't figure it out...

    I bet it turned out to be a problem in the priveledge table. You probably set your username up to accept connections from localhost and any host but not for the specific IP address that you were calling in your "database=test, host=x.x.x.x" statement. Oh, and dbi:mysqlPP is valid if you have DBI::mysqlPP installed, and dbi:mysql is valid if you have DBI::Mysql installed.
