The last time you posted this problem, you were given the advice:
1. Read the DBD::mysql docs, which shows the syntax for specifying
connect parameters ("keyword=value;keyword=value...").
2. Read the DBI docs for $DBI::err and $DBI::errstr. They are your
friends when things go wrong. Use them and print them out.
Did you read this documentation? Which part did you find confusing?
Have you tried making your connect parameters match the syntax given
in the DBD::mysql docs (DBI:mysql:db;keyword=value;keyword=value
...)? Have you tried using $DBI::errstr?
