why DBI always appends @'localhost' to the username?

Hi list,

please CC to me, I'm not on the list.

I have a problem using DBI on FreeBSD.
The mysql server is on a remote host and I can login with my username 
manually.
However, the DBI module always appends a @'localhost' to the username, 
even when I specify the username to be 'user@my_hostname'. The result 
is, that the mysql server denies access. I don't have root permissions 
on that server and access for me is only allowed from 'my_hostname'.

How do I tell DBI to *not* append @'localhost' to the username?

Cheers
Arne
