in reply to Question of safe data passing...

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.
