grax,

After you ensure that you have the proper ODBC driver installed, I would strongly suggest NOT using DSN's and instead code the entire connect string in your program. This way you can move the script to any machine that has the drivers without having to rely on/recreate on that DSN entry.

The entire string would resemble: 

#  replace DRIVERNAME,SERVERNAME,DATABASENAME,USERID,PASSWD with real 
+values...
my $CONNECT = "Driver={DRIVERTYPE};Server=SERVERNAME;Database=DATABASE
+NAME;UID=USERID;PWD=PASSWD";

have fun!
