Re^3: PERL and MS-SQL Server 2000

all true, but such hard-coding of paths isn't good.

You will have problems running this script elsewhere.

Much better to find another way of supplying that ENV variable: helper .BAT, or real environment change, or finding installation path via registry, or whatever.

It depends on the scenerio. If the environment is a cookie cutter like situation where the servers all look alike, then there really isn't much danger. Deviate from the cookie cutter environment, then a more flexible solution is needed. Jason L.
