I appreciate your reply. The account is an NT Account, so it requires NT authentication. I can get this to work with a local SQL account (basically the example above)...

The link you provided, while incredibly useful, was the one I originally got help from (and unfortunately mentions nothing about domains in a username).

As for the TCP/IP vs. Names-pipes, I'm not 100% sure what's going on, but I'm pretty sure we need authentication, because this is happening in a company intranet, and the SQL calls being made in the Perl app must be made as a specific NT domain user.

Thanks again for your response, and I hope someone out there has a suggestion on how to connect to the SQL database using an NT domain user.
