Sorry if I've posted this twice, but it doesn't seem to be appearing on the "seekers" page. Hi, I'm trying to run a script on cygwin, that I had origionally working on a unix server. I havent ported my sql database so I was going to connect to it from my new machine by using -
my $serverName = "www.server.com";
instead of -
my $serverName = "localhost"; Anyway, when I tried to run the script, I got - 
 perl index.cgi
