Description:
In perl , for accessing SQL data, the code

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use DBI;
my $d=DBI->connect(`DBI:mysql:test`,`root`,`kk`);

die "Cannot connect".DBI->errstr() unless $d;

print "Success Connected\n";

$d->disconnect();

when executed, gives the following error:

can't locate "DBI:mysql:test": No such file or directory 
can't loacate auto/DBI/CONNECT.al in @INC .

Note: ( the database test is existing in mysql)
I get the same error in both Linux and Windows.

How to repeat:
die "Cannot connect".DBI->errstr() unless $d;

print "Success Connected\n";

$d->disconnect();

when executed, gives the following error:

can't locate "DBI:mysql:test": No such file or directory 
can't loacate auto/DBI/CONNECT.al in @INC .

Note: ( the database test is existing in mysql)
I get the same error in both Linux and Windows.

Suggested fix:
