well, start from scratch. presuming you haven't set up any other users yet,
take this, change [rootpass] to the proper password (presuming you've set a
root password for mysql, otherwise leave password blank), save it, run from
the command line, and tell us what it says:
>>>>CUT>>>>>>
#!/usr/bin/perl
# fast in and out
use DBI;
# ===== db connection ===== #
my $host = 'localhost';
my $port = '3306';
my $driver = 'mysql';
my $db = 'mysql';
my $dbuser = 'root';
my $dbpass = '[rootpass]';
my $dsn = "DBI:$driver:database=$db;host=$host;port=$port";
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die "$DBI::errstr";
print qq(it looks like a good connect\n);
