The DBI is telling you that you are using a method from an object that has not been initialized. Most likely, your call to onnect failed, but since you are not checking for errors, you did not realize it.

This statement

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$database:$db_server", $user, $passw +ord);

Should be :

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$database;host=$db_server", $user, $password, {RaiseError=> 1}) or die $DBI::errstr;

Then, if something goes wrong, the DBI will tell you why, in the right place where you need it.

P.S. Remove that list of modules from your post. It does not add anything useful, and it's just confusing. And, please, don't use line numbers in your code, because it makes difficult to download it.

More useful for you should be to check our Tutorials page for some enlightening reading. (e.g.: How (Not) To Ask A Question, Before asking a database related question ...)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
