in thread How to connect with remote mySQL DB

I see now...

Ken is right, yes, the real problem is that the line is malformed so the passed driver's name is really mSQL//www.db4free, instead mSQL trying to connect to "http://www.db4free". Try with:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use DBI; my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:dbname=aghpisos;host=www.db4free","s +adecki", "***");
