NAME DBIx::Connect::MySQL - Connect to DBI (mysql), search user/password from .my.cnf VERSION This document describes version 0.002 of DBIx::Connect::MySQL (from Perl distribution DBIx-Connect-MySQL), released on 2017-08-16. SYNOPSIS Instead of: use DBI; my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:database=mydb", "someuser", "somepass"); you can now do: use DBIx::Connect::MySQL; my $dbh = DBIx::Connect::MySQL->connect("dbi:mysql:database=mydb", undef, undef); and user/password will be searched in ~/.my.cnf if unset. DESCRIPTION This is a small wrapper for "DBI->connect" because the client library does not automatically search for user/password from .my.cnf files like in PostgresSQL. METHODS connect($dsn, $user, $pass, ...) Will pass arguments to "DBI->connect" after setting the default of $user and $pass from ~/.my.cnf if possible.
