Hello Monks.

This is the code I have 

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 CGI;

my $DSN = 'driver={SQL Server};Server=SRV01;Database=SDPSI;UID=my_id;P
+WD=my_pswd';

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

#If connected, print...
print("It's in.");

#Close connection when finished:
$dbh->disconnect;
print "hello there";
print "</BODY>\n";
print "</HTML>\n";

When I compile this code on my machine it gives me the following error:

DBI->connect(driver={SQL Server};Server=SRV01;Database=SDPSI;uid=u_id;pwd=u_pswd ) failed: MicrosoftODBC Driver Manager Invalid string or buffer length (SQL-S1090)(DBD: db_login/SQLConnect err=-1) at database.pl line 12 MicrosoftODBC Driver Manager Invalid string or buffer length (SQL-S1090)(DBD : db_login/SQLConnect err=-1)

Does ANYONE know what to do???
