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
               

 };
