in reply to Re^5: Perl CGI and SQL statements
in thread Perl CGI and SQL statements
Firstly, you need to either remove the tic marks or use double quotes. The way this is written, you're sending exactly $DSN as a string. If you want to send what $DSN is set to, then use: my $db = new Win32::ODBC($DSN);
Secondly, this probably explains the next problem... $db is undefined because the instance creation failed. In other words, after you do this:
my $db = new Win32::ODBC($DSN);You should check $db to verify that the object was created successfuly. If it could not connect, then $db will be undefined. The error you are seeing is because you can't call the function Sql on an undefined $db variable.
Seriously, a little time with the perl debugger, now that you've got compilable code, would help you understand what's going on.
