Robin,
you will probably need to use a DBI::ProxyServer (Linux) and DBD::Proxy (Mac)
combination. For details see:
http://pudge.net/macperl/dbi-dbd-proxy.html
While this page describes a way to access the Sybase RDBMS, I see no reason why it
shouldn't work with MySQL (although I haven't tried this). However, you have to
install lots of things.
There's also an interesting article, written by (DBI guru :) Jochen Wiedmann,
available from
http://www.heise.de/ix/artikel/2000/10/176/ .
Although written in German, the article, the figures and the listing(s) may be useful
for you. It describes a way for using the ODBC driver with DBI::ProxyServer and
DBD::Proxy for a Linux/Windows NT client/server setup.
Best regards,
--Thomas
