You need to have a proxy server running in the host where the actual database connection is made. That server is used by clients running elsewhere. The connection between client and server is made using PlRPC. There are examples in dbiproxy. See `perldoc dbiproxy` or http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBI/dbiproxy.PL . The dbiproxy file itself is also a useful example. -- Mac :}) ** I usually 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.
