Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting connect to MySQL from Perl using DBI Post 302381679 by mjoh on Saturday 19th of December 2009 05:50:14 PM

Hi,

try to change the path you're using to the database with the actual database name in mysql.

Change:
Code:
$dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data\db1','','pass') or die $DBI::errstr;}

to:
Code:
$dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:<db name>','','pass') or die $DBI::errstr;}

I'm new to Perl but one problem that i can see with your syntax is that this part, 'DBI:mysql:C:\Program Files ...', could make perl believe that the name of your database is 'C' since it uses ':' as a seperator in the DBI connectionstring.
