Thanks for the links. I will be using them for sure. In regards to the DBI issue I have twice tried to get it working (with DBD). Other perl monks have been stumped at the issues I came up with (if I knew how to reference other nodes I could show you). I figure that since I have the Pg working I will run with it and see what I get. I will be needing to redo the code regardless after to optimize it later (this is my first database project and will certainly be less than optimal).
Thanx for the info.
