I'm trying to do a basic select but I'm running into an error message:
No Database Selected
Here's the code I used (password, domain and user have been changed for privacy purposes)
#!/usr/bin/perl
use DBI;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
import_names('f');
print header();
my $database = "databasename=default";
my $host = "host=mysql.domain.com";
my $driver = "DBI:mysql";
my $user = "user";
my $pass = "pass";
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$database;$host", $user, $pass)
or print "Can't connect to mysql database: $DBI::errstr<br>";
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT section, content FROM webdata WHERE secti
+on=home")
or print "Can't prepare statement: $DBI::errstr<br>";
$sth->execute()
or print "Can't execute statement: $DBI::errstr<br>";
$dbh->disconnect();
The code doesn't flag any syntax errors, so I'm a little confused. Is it me or something I should email the sysadmin about?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
