Is anyone familiar with DBD::Proxy ?? I'd like to access a MS windows based database from a Linux machine. I need to do the following ... * On the UNIX/Linux machine install DBI and all the modules to support DBD::Proxy. * On the Windows system install DBI, all the modules for DBD::Proxy, and DBD::ODBC. * Define a system DSN (using ODBC connection manager) to the Windows database. * Using the ODBC Test connection, test the ODBC connection.
Here is the url where I got this information: http://tlowery.hypermart.net/perl_dbi_dbd_faq.html#HowDoIAccessMSWindowsDB <http://tlowery.hypermart.net/perl_dbi_dbd_faq.html#HowDoIAccessMSWindowsDB> I've never installed modules on a windows machine. Any advice for this ? If I just install ActivePerl will I get everything I need ? How do I determine the port that the Proxy will be listening on ? Any help here wold be greatly appreciated. - Sean
