"The first thing about 'perlcc' is that you dont talk about perlcc.." chuckle sorry, there is a warning on perlcc that claims it is not fully bugfree etc, etc and untill I purchased the Activestate dev kit, I had very poor and eradic luck with the gizmo. However what I learned may be of use here. Make sure that you DO have 'use' lines for all your modules - like DBI - but also for the DBD you intend to use as well. Then, add those into the command line of the compiler as included modules. The compiler does not know where these things are- after all it is generally just cc or gcc and knows nothing of perl.

You might want to try perl2exe. I have had very good luck with it and you can try it out for free. www.indigostar.com The only down side is that with the free version, when the code completes it will write some propaganda to the screen. Sparky	[reply]
