Unix with cpanel is what i'm using. On one server with cpanel, i can use a script just fine. I change the mysql information, and #!/usr/bin/perl is used for perl scripts on both servers, so no change there, just the mysql information. It does not connect to the database. So I make a baby script, that just prints hello and tries to connect and than prints again. Above dbi connect works, below it does not. I asked the host if other scripts were using perl to connect, because php is working fine. They said not many people are using perl, so thats not a direct answer.
My question is, is the server's install of DBI or Perl that causes this problem. If so, does anybody know what is wrong so i can let these people know how to fix it?
