Please do not assume you can discern the exact circumstances and environment of my request and issue. If I could install DBI in this environment, I would...I've installed it in many others. I wrote my original SOPW with the hope that someone could provide a solution to the problem I presented... I'm making no 'excuses', I'm simply conveying the requirements which confine my prediciment. You are correct, in an ideal world DBI would be a legitimate solution for this problem...but the corporate world I work in is extremely political and harshly unforgiving. Seldom one is able to get everything one desires. Perl is great because there is indeed "more than one way". This flexibilty becomes paramount in situations like the one that percipitated my original post. The reason that I love this site and it's community so much is that it generally accomodates with sympathy such inconviences.
