in reply to Connecting to remote db with DBI

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=$db;host=$host", 
                       $user, $pass, { RaiseError => 1 } ) or
   die ( "Couldn't connect to database: " . DBI->errstr );

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    Hi Perl forks Your problem is inside the DBI. Your DBD is corrupted or incomplete. Install perl DBD for mysql. I assure you this works.
