MySql connect error message

[slappy]

When I try to run my perl script in SSH; I get this error message:

DBI->connect using 'old-style' syntax is deprecated and will be an error in future
versions at ScriptV.pl line 9

I've checked line 9 and it has the "new style" syntax:

$dbh=DBI->connect("dbi:MySQL:$database", $user, $pass);

so I'm not sure what else it could be.

What is required before the perl can connect to the mysql tables.

Thanks.

after you connect to mysql, you usually need to select a datbase. it looks like that is what your class is doing, but i don't know perl.

I have a script at work that uses perl DBI to connect to mysql. I'll see what its doing and post a sample later. (although its old, so it might be using the old stuff)
