in reply to perl and microsoft sql server

DBI, the standard perl database interface module, can be used to work with MsSql using DBD::ODBC. If your perl script is gonna run on something other than NT you have some additional hoops to jump through (like getting an apropriate ODBC driver or using DBD::Proxy).

    If you are working from Linux or other GNUish/BSD ish platforms, you can also install the Sybase libraries and treat the M$SQL server as a Sybase machine. Handy trick once in a while.
