I'v installed teh DBI::ODBC port. I've alos got working code that accesses a remote Oracle instance using Perl's DBD::Oracle. I've got access to a person who has admin access on the remote windows box, but is not really understanding what I'm trying to do. A sample snipet of working code would be a wonderful thing. Can anyone help? It _appears_ that in addition to DBD and DBI::Oralce, I may need a "ODBC manager", and an "ODB driver". Is this correct? If so where can I get them? -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
