Seems like that is the item the more I look into this.

I did run this just now from a Windows 2000 machine and it works just fine. I noticed that I have a very minor version difference on the DBD::mysql module so am going to try an upragade and see if that fixes it.

Also, I have seen reference to an "all perl" dbd module for Mysql which I might check out as well.

Thanks, btw, for your info; it was quite useful.

Update: I have just tried switching to the DBD::mysqlPP driver and it does, indeed work. I can connect and retrieve data from the db.
