Hi Monks.. I have recently began using perl and I am having dificulty connecting to MS SQL server. My current code is: 

use strict;
use DBI;


$| = 1;

my $server_name = 'server name';
my $database_name = 'database name;
my $user = 'database user name';
my $password = 'database password';

my $DSN = "DRIVER={SQL Server};Database=$database_name;Server=$server_
+name;uid=$user;pwd=$password; Trusted_Connection=False"; 

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$DSN", $user, $password) || die "Coul
+dn't open database: $DBI::errstr\n";

$dbh->disconnect();

I am getting a responce of: 

DBI connect(' ') failed: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Serve
+r]Login failed for user 'company\lsxo'. (SQL-28000) at c:/TEMP/connec
+t2.pl line 14

[download]

Ultimately, my question is how do I get SQL Server authentification using a login ID and password that I enter. Thanks! lsxo
