I am trying to connect to MS SQL Server 2000 that is on my NT server. That's the code I have below but when I try to view through a browser it gives me the following error:
"Perhaps the capitalisation of DBD 'ODBC' isn't right. at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgibin\database.pl line 14 HTTP/1.0 200 OK Content-Type: text/html"

print "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\n";
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
print "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE></HEAD>\n";
print "<BODY>\n";

use DBI;
use DBD::ODBC;
use CGI;

my ( $server_name, $database, $user_id, $password ) = qw( 'sdp-si.biz' 'SDPSI' 'myusername' 'mypassowrd' );

#Connect the database handle.
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:$DSN") or die "$DBI::errstr\n";

#Close connection when finished:
$dbh->disconnect;

print "</BODY>\n";
print "</HTML>\n";

I already installed the DBI package, and i read that DBD::ODBC comes with Active Perl already(that's what i have). WHAT SHOULD I DO??? PLEASE HELP MANY THANKS!
