in reply to Too many arguments to connect-help?
The connectstring should consist of 'dbi:mysql:' (with colons), followed by semi-colon separated parts.
So, "dbi:mysql:database = project_database: host = localhost"
should become "dbi:mysql:database=project_database;host=localhost;"
(I think...)
And DBI_>connect should be: DBI->connect (etc)
