Re^2: How do I read data passed to perl script

Indeed, my explanation is simple. I am under some pressure to produce 'a fabulous tool' using Perl. My programming experience has been in VBScript, REXX, JCL and some other lanuages. At the moment I have 2 books, the Tutorial page on Perl Monks open so I am trying to learn using a real world problem. I am sorry for the basic question but after scanning the relevent pages that I could find, it was easier to post a simple message and hope that others could point me in the right direction. Which the Monks have done. I have already test some parts to my solution like interogating MS SQL table for info.. Thanks for everyone's input... Danny

well basically.... need to use perl to connect to MS SQL, call SELECT statement using information passed from an alert received by the Enterprise Manager, check to see if the alert needs to be suppressed, and then send a return message based on whether suppression is required or not. The 'fabulous tool' moniker comes from another solution I created using REXX on a Unix server !!! It was a joke but seems to have stuck for any solution that we develop now !!	[reply]
