my $dbh = DBI->connect ( "DBD:mysql :database=perl
:host=localhost",$username,$password)
                          ^^^
                           |
        should read     DBI::mysql



The syntax is:

$dbh = DBI->connect(DBI:driver_name:database=database_name, username,
password)


The default host is localhost, so host=localhost is redundant.
