use strict; use warnings;
use CGI::Simple;
use DBI;
my $cgi = CGI::Simple->new;
my $dsn = sprintf(
'DBI:mysql:database=%s;host=%s',
'cdcol', 'localhost'
);
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, root => '',
{ AutoCommit => 0, RaiseError => 0 }
);
my $status = $dbh ? 'Connected' : 'Failed to connect';
print $cgi->header, <<HTML;
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

This code gives me error:
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
