DSN information is stored in the site's private Conf.pm file, and if present automatically causes the system to use DBI and attempt to connect to the database.

Package Conf; our $conf = { 'sitetitle' => 'Acme Site', 'dsn' => 'DBI:mysql:forum:localhost:3306', 'dsn_username' => 'xxxx', 'dsn_password' => 'xxxxxx', '404' => '404', 'default_action' => 'default', 'doc_root' => '/var/www', 'debug' => 0 }; 1;

The values in the conf can also be accessed from within the document with the <conf> tag I.E:

<conf>sitetitle</conf> Output: ------- Acme Site
