Josh, Thank you very much for your reply.
What you are saying makes sense although it is a completely new concept to me. Just to give you a bit more information with regards to the system I'm working with: I'm running Apache 2.0.36 on SPARC Solaris 2.8 I am trying to connect to an ORACLE database and I am using the Apache_ASP module to run the ASP pages. I also of course have all the necessary bits and pieces to allow me to connect to the databases through Perl. I have enclosed one of the many ASP files that I am transferring and it looks like it is using VB scripts to connect to the databases. An almost identical script structure exists in every ASP page. I would be grateful if you could guide me in the right direction with this problem I am having. Once again thank you for your help.
