You're right, I have. I assumed it would need SQL to work. Thanks for
correcting me! :)
You're still confused, I think, though it's not quite your fault :-)
It *does* need SQL to work, but not in the way you seem to be thinking.
OK - I assumed, from the previous posts, that I would need MySQL et. al.
to be able to use DBD::SQL. I sit corrected. :)
*snip*
Just one thing though - I need to have DBD::SQLite installed on my
server and it's not on there, nor will it be (again, not my choice).
I'm still up a certain creek without a paddle *grin*
Well, that one is between you and your admins, but Perl development is
*significantly* easier to manage if you're allowed to install CPAN
modules, and as CPAN modules go, this is a pretty simple one.
I think a bit of background is needed. I work for the helpdesk of an
ISP. The space I've got is a staff account which mirrors the service
the residential customers receive. It's got a cgi-bin (of course,
otherwise there wouldn't be any point in my script *grin*) but they've
deliberately kept out the likes of MySQL because it is a residential
account. So I'll not be able to get additional modules installed and
mores the pity.
If CPAN modules are out of the question, then you're looking at a whole
lot of wheel-reinventing in a lot of the work you do... :-/
I thought as much. :( Thanks for the advice anyway!
Cheers!
