Aright how bout writing a perl script that creates a DBI object for you and freezes it using Storable, but before
it does this it reads a config file and looks to make sure the calling script and calling user are ok, if these conditions are met it then returns
the freezed DBI object to STDOUT easly read in and thaw'ed by the calling script
Of course the perl script would have to be compiled and the binary outputed would have to be chmod'ed with no read access, as well as suid so that it could read the "root only read" config file.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
