SQL Server Invalid string...

[Jeff Thies]

I'm trying to get a connect with SQL Server.

  I have this:

$DSN = 'driver={SQL
Server};Server=server_ip;uid=user_id;pwd=the_password;database=database_name';

$db = DBI -> connect("dbi:ODBC:$DSN") || die "Cannot Connect:
$DBI::errstr\n";

This is what I get:

Cannot Connect: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Invalid string or
buffer length (SQL-S1090)(DBD: db_login/SQLConnect err=-1)

Now what?
