Hello:

Currently I have a client's site working with a database driven user managament.

I use the DBI and the DBD::mysql modules to work around with MySQL database.

Everything was OK until yesterday when my client had an idea, he wanted to open a new site with different tools, but he wants some users in "site1" to be able to access "site2" with all the profile information, etc.

When presented with this idea, two solutions came to my mind:

• Solution #1: I thought than maybe I can download the database from "site1" and then upload it to "site2". This would be the right solution and an extremely easy one if it wasn't for one problem: the database in "site1" updates itself at least once a day. So the thought of having to do this every day is out of the picture.
• Solution #2: After thinking for a while it came to me that maybe they could be a way to access a database from another site, so I could set the CGI's in "site2" to accessthe database in "site1", that way I could only use 1 database.

Hurray!!! Im a smart person...am I?

That's what takes me here, I could use some ideas or comments to help me solve my problem from all you perl monks of the world.

THANKS IN ADVANCED FOR ANY HELP
