Thank you very much!
In the documentation for DBI I did not see using the call format
argname= .
Sincerely,

How can DBI use a database SERVER not a socket?
1) perl code segment
$host="sdb-74.hosting.stackcp.net
"; #actually not used
$database="realger1_birding"; $user='realger1_observr';
$pass='birxxx';
use DBI;
use DBD::mysql;
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$database",$user, $pass );
if ( ! $dbh ) { die "-- Failed to connect to MySQL
database:DBI->errstr()"; }
2) ERROR
DBI connect('realger1_birding','realger1_observr',...) failed:

3) cat ~/.my.cnf #only used by MySQL programs anyway
