Stephen,
I have implemented the below logic from you, and it has at least shed alot
of light on what my Apache webserver CGI environment "sees". Although, I
am fairly literate with DBI (specifically DBD::Sybase), unfortunately I'm
not familiar enough with CGI to know "which" system variable is the culprit
not allowing me to access Sybase, do a simple fetchrow, and display the
resultset. Your help has been greatly appreciated.
Everyone,
If anyone knows of a CGI mailing list, that would be great as I feel bad
asking for help on the wrong mailing list. Thanks for everyone's help.
v/r,
Jonathan
