Good Folks,
I�m looking to use DBD::ODBC on OS X (to manipulate MS SQL Server 7 data).
I�ve read the appropriate FAQ�s and much of the book �Programming the Perl
DBI," but still could use a little help:
1. I need to specify ODBCHOME (dir for the driver manager) -- Any advice on
how to proceed? (e.g., which manager to use, where to install it, etc. -- or
a good resource that goes into this.)
2. When specifying a DBI_DSN, "e.g., 'dbi:ODBC:YOUR_DSN_HERE'" -- what is
the format of our "YOUR_DSN_HERE" likely to be? (My pal who set up the SQL
server gave me a free dumb look when I asked him...just looking for
something to jog his memory.)
FYI...
-Running MacOS 10.0.3, Developer Kit installed.
-I've used MacPerl for a few years, but am (obviously) a Unix newbie.

Regards and Thanks in Advance,
Tim Grant
