Well, I found the problem and almost have a solution worked out. It appears there's some issues between the version of ActivePerl being implemented on the NFS that we use and data being pulled from the DB. When I made a separate Perl script to pull from the DB and ran it using a fresh Perl install, things worked fine. Unfortunately, a lot of other things are dependent on the version of Perl on the NFS. Not a huge issue, just going to leave the DB work in a separate Perl script and call it from a different version of Perl. That being said, running into a small problem with passing arguments from the initial Perl script to the now separated one. Code below: Initial Perl: `system('/usr/bin/perl /home/SQLtoXML.pl $source_id $OutputXMLDir');` [download] Perl script that is being called: `my $PassedSource = $ARGV[0]; my $FinalDir = $ARGV[1];` [download] Unfortunately, $PassedSource and $FinalDir are both ending up as null when the program runs. Am I just passing the 2 arguments incorrectly? Thanks again for all the help. You've been wonderful.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you ev0lution for the feedback. It's nice to hear that you worked it out. I hope that the hint from choroba helped to fix the last remaining issue. Best regards, Karl «The Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostrophe»	[reply]
