OK, you want to embed an AppleScript in a web page to do stuff. That is, I think, possible, but outside the scope of MacPerl stuff. It's not something many of us pay attention to. >> Yes and no.

It rarely proves to be a prooblem. Most of the time, DBD::Proxy suits whatever purposes you may have. You need to have a connection available to the remote DB anyway, so you make that connection to a DBI::ProxyServer proxy with DBD::Proxy instead of directly to the DB itself with DBD::Whatever. -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
