I appologize for probably getting quite off topic now. I've received my coveted error string.

DBI->connect(BLAH) failed: [IBM][Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)][D
+B2/400 SQL]Communication link failure. COMM RC=0x5 (SQL-08S01)(DBD: d
+b_login/SQLConnect err=-1) at E:\Perl\scripts\x.pl line 11

Line 11 is obviously the connect line ;) Either way, I'm lost. The best advice I've gotten so far is that the default web user is not given access to make connections to databases which do not reside on the same machine as the web server. I know that via .asp this connection is possible on this machine, so this may be the wrong assumption. However, I don't even know how to configure this to try it out. This is internal, btw, so security is not really an issue - I've been told that giving access to external databases is a no-no kind of thing. *shrug*
Any help/ideas would again be appreciated.

Danke,
