I have a slight problem connecting via DBI to a mySQL database. Maybe I need to clarify: My connection problem is with mySQL, which I'm on top of, my problem is that the CGI dies, with the error message in the error_log file of Apache. I would like to display this error message via the web browser. Now my question... How can I detect if the DBI connection has failed, and then print the error message out?
#!/usr/bin/perl
use DBI;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
$server = "127.0.0.1";
$sid = "mysid";
$user = "myuser";
$passwd = "mypassword";
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:Oracle:host=$server;sid=$sid", $user, $passwd
+);
...
...
Thanks!

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).
