Funny, someone cross posted my question.  I didn't even know this list 
existed until a few minutes ago when I was reading my email on the 
Mentioned OS X forum. What a supprise to find people already discussing 
my problem when I join up.

Any way...

please post some of the mysqltest.pl code

Here it is:

------
#!/usr/bin/perl

# use strict;
use DBI();

$dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:test', 'root', 'audis8');

if ( not $dbh ) { die "Connect Failed: $DBI::errstr\n"; }
$drh = DBI ->install_driver("mysql");

my $qstr = "SELECT * FROM testola";

print "$qstr\n";
my $out = $dbh->prepare("$qstr");
$out->execute;

while (($data1,$data2)=$out->fetchrow_array) {
         print "$data1\t$data2\n";
}

And the DB contains:

----
mysql> select * from testola;

+--------+---------+
|  one   |    two   |
+--------+---------+
|    666 | Derrik  |
|    777 | Kathy   |
|    111 | 3p0     |
|    999 | Ktulu   |
+--------+---------+
4 rows in set (0.29 sec)

mysql>

Thanks.

I got the computer telling me we need disk, I got management saying.
"no!" Well eventually the computer will win...  They always do.
