Example: A-5 Sample Perl application
# A sample perl application.
# Use this program to test connection to a database.
# Database connectivity information is read as command line arguments.
# Give arguments in the following order:
# hostname port_number database_name user password
#
# Run the application as following:
# perl itso_perlapp.pl hostname port_number database_name user password
#
use DBI;
# Varifying the number of command line arguments.
if ($#ARGV != 4){
print " ERROR: incorrect command line arguments.\n Use hostname port_number
database_name user_name password\n";
