Possibilities:

Open the MySQL server for remote access, using an SSH tunnel to encrypt everything
Create a SOAP::Lite application, keeping in mind various security notes

----
I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.

Corion suggest that i could have the script (pquota) called another one (mypquota). but the difference is that pquota is 0755 lp staff mypquota 0700 lp lp then i can have the database user name and password in the mypquota scirpt that no once will see except lp group and user. that seems to be the easiest way, i guess.
