How do I connect to my database from perl?
|
<![CDATA[#!/usr/bin/perl<br>
use DBI;<br><br>
my $database="YourDataBaseName";<br>
my $database_server="localhost";<br>
my $database_server_type="mysql";<br>
my $database_user_id="YourUserID";<br>
my $database_password="YourPassword";<br><br>
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:$database_server_type:$database:$database_server", $database_user_id, $database_password) or die "Couldn't Connect To My Database";<br><br>]]>
For further information, please visit the perl website:
http://www.perl.com, or refer to your favorite perl documentation.
NOTE: "localhost" is LITERALLY "localhost" - do not try to enter a servername.
