Problem with secrets

[Andrew Cameron]

Hi,

This does not help me.

I cannot get rid of the Error

Software error:

Illegal line in /usr/local/etc/freeside//secrets : DBI:mysql:freeside
freeside password 

This error prints out on one line.

Here is my mapsecrets located in /usr/local/etc/freeside
freeside secrets


Here is my secrets /located in /usr/local/etc/freeside (Password changed)
DBI:mysql:freeside
freeside
password

The only thing I can think of is that my version of Perl may not be
compatible with the scripts

perl -V returns
