Yes .... I have to execute a perl script(Unix/Windows) to update in SQL database. I have a limitation that, I can only use DBD::DBM to run the query. As i haven't worked with DBM files, I want to know how to execute with DBM Module. I have written a sample script, but i'm receiving error as \.Usr.lck : No such directory or file exist. DO i need to place the SQL files in some folder or Do i have to use it in some other way? Could you please elaborate me out.


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use DBI;
my $dbh=DBI->connect('dbi:DBM:f_dir=D:\Perl\site\lib\DBD\usr.sql')
    or die "Can't connect to $DBI::errstr";
                                                             
my $sql = "SELECT USERNAME FROM USERS";
                                                             
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql)
    or die "Can't prepare statement: $DBI::errstr";
                                                             
$sth->execute();

print $sth;

$dbh->disconnect;
