What happens when you simple tell the script the machine name of where
the mysql server resides as per the DBI documentation:
---
DBI Class Methods
The following methods are provided by the DBI class:
"connect"
$dbh = DBI->connect($data_source, $username, $password)
or die $DBI::errstr;
$dbh = DBI->connect($data_source, $username, $password,
\%attr)
or die $DBI::errstr;
[snip]
Examples of "$data_source" values are:
dbi:DriverName:database_name
dbi:DriverName:database_name@hostname:port
dbi:DriverName:database=database_name;host=hostname;port=port
