in reply to minimum for connecting to MsSQL from UNIX with perl

If you are connecting to a mysql database then you need DBD::mysql. The connect line looks like:

use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect(
    'dbi:mysql:dbname=MyDatabase;host=myhost.somewhere.someplace',
    'MyUserName', 'MyPassword'
    );

Update: Urg, misread 'ms' as 'my' - even with the strong OBDC etc. hints!

True laziness is hard work
