Yahoo! - I solved the problem - wasn't easy, but I did it. I'll share my code in case anyone else has the issue. The big item was I had to point to my class path jar file to point to terajdbc4.jar

use strict;

use warnings;

 

use Inline Java => <<'END' => CLASSPATH => 'C:/jars/terajdbc4.jar';

 

 

import java.sql.Connection;

import java.util.*;

import java.sql.DriverManager;

import java.sql.SQLException;

import java.io.PrintWriter;

import java.sql.*;


 

public class TeradataConnectionTest {

public static void testConnection(String jdbcUrl, String username, Str
+ing password) {

try {

                System.out.println("Test up to part 1");

//e.printStackTrace();

//DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver());

 

//DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver()); Di
+d not work

Class.forName("com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver"); //Did not work

//  Class.forName("com.ncr.teradata.TeraDriver"); Did not work

Connection connectionA = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl, username
+, password);

System.out.println("Test up to part 2");

System.out.println("Connected to Teradata!");

// Perform your database operations here

connectionA.close();

} catch (SQLException e)

 {

// Print the stack trace or error message

e.printStackTrace();

   System.err.println("SQLException: " + e.getMessage());

} catch (Exception e) {

// Handle other exceptions

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

}

 

END
