I have my scripts set up to open a database, and it opens it fine on the command line, but not in the browser. Here's some code.
require "c:/vcanew/cgi-bin/cgi-lib.pl"; print &PrintHeader; print &HtmlTop(); if (!($db = new Win32::ODBC("MyDSN"))) { print Win32::ODBC::Error(); print &HtmlBot; exit(); } else { print "Works"; print &HtmlBot; }
So it runs fine from the command line, but not anywhere else. I saw the FAQ at www.roth.net and I saw this question on here, but I didn't understand it very well. So please don't just copy and paste from the roth FAQ.
