That's a definite maybe. If you have access to another machine with the same OS, Perl, and shared libraries as the target machine, you could build DBI and DBD::ODBC into a directory on that machine that matches one you can FTP into in the target machine and then use FTP to copy the installed files into the target machine's directory. That's a lot of ifs and maybes, but it's your only choice if your web host won't let you build in their machine. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
