mboudreau has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Salvete omnes!
I'm trying to connect to a MySQL database. The connection works in a Perl script I run on the command line, but it fails in an HTML::Mason page executed by mod_perl.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.6, Perl 5.8.8, mod_perl 2.0.4, MySQL 5.0.45, DBI 1.607, DBD::mysql 4.010. Here's the code:
use DBI; my $dbsrc = 'DBI:mysql:test:localhost'; my %attr = ( PrintError => 0, RaiseError => 0 ); my $dbh = DBI->connect($dbsrc, 'mboudreau', 'secret', \%attr) or die " +$DBI::err str"; $dbh->disconnect;
and here's the error message I get:
Can't locate auto/DBI/connect.al in @INC (@INC contains: /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.1 . /usr) at /Users/mrb/Sites/mason_mysql_test.mhtml line 17I've searched my computer (sudo find / -name connect.al -print) for 'connect.al' and it's nowhere to be found. I've reinstalled DBI and DBD::mysql, no errors, no luck. Googling for this error message turns up a lot of people who had typos in their connection statement, but I don't think that's the case here (identical code works fine in a command-line script). Any guidance?
