Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello How do you connect to a mysql database as an anonymous user with perl? The following did not work:

my $username = "anonymous";
my $password = "yes";

our $sql_database = "xxxx";
our $sql_host = "xx";
our $sql_port = "3306";



my $db = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=$sql_database;host=$sql_host
+;port=$sql_port", $username, $password, {'RaiseError' => 1});
