This should be the actual name of the database. Naturally I don't know what=
 your database is named, so I cannot tell you what it should be. But it's u=
nlikely that your database is named to look like an IP address.

If mysql is running on the same machine as your perl script, then this may =
be left as localhost. If, however, it is running somewhere else, then a mac=
hine name or IP address will need to be supplied. Perl needs to know where =
to send the request. If it isn't on the local machine (localhost) then it w=
ill need to send the request to another machine, so you'll telling it where.
