I'm just starting to build a script to load some data into SQL Server running on one system using perl and DBI from another system (Linux). My first attempt to install DBD-ODBC on the Linux system and searches on the web lead me to think this will be a major pain. The install on the Linux box gives me an error about having a DSN first and having a Driver Manager on the Linux box. Those that have installed this probably know what I'm talking about. I use/deal SQL Server only when I can't avoid it so does anyone have instructions suitable for the 'very' slow? Or is there away around this apparent requirement? It seems to me odd that the DBD-ODBC driver will only allow one user to connect to one database per machine.
Additional info. Redhat Linux 7.3, perl 5.6.1, DBI 1.20 (installed from tarball) DBD-ODBC 0.43 (trying from a tarball). TIA, Rod -- "Open Source Software - Sometimes you get more than you paid for..."
