 use DBI;
 $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:ram','root','root')
 or die "Connection Error: $DBI::errstr\n";
 $sql = "select * from test1";
 $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
 $sth->execute
 or die "SQL Error: $DBI::errstr\n";
 while (@row = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
 print "@row\n";
 }

Is your database sever on the localhost and running on the default port? What arguments to `mysql` are you using to connect on the command line? You might want look at something like: `my $db = 'ram'; my $host = ''; # hostname my $port = ''; # portnumber $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=$db;host=$host;port=$port",'ro +ot','root') or die "Connection Error: $DBI::errstr\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
