Dear, I have a curious problem with perl CGI and ODBC. I have a script which connect to a database (Progress) using DBI (with DBD::ODBC). If I execute this script without CGI, it is working, example : 
#!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe
use warnings;
use strict;

use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:ODBC:DSN=MY DATABASE', 'login', '' )
or die "Can't connect to database\n$DBI::errstr";

# My  code

[download]
But, if I want to use this script with CGI, It do not work. 
#!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe
use warnings;
use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

use DBI;

my $cgi = new CGI;
print $cgi->header();
print $cgi->start_html();

my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:ODBC:DSN=MY DATABASE', 'login', '' )
or die "Can't connect to database\n$DBI::errstr";

# My  code

print $cgi->end_html();

I have this message : Can't connect to database, Microsoft ODBC Driver Manager Data source name not found and no default driver specified (SQL-IM002) Why connection work without CGI and failed with CGI ? Best Regards,
