Well, I think PHP would be better, but not after you have already done so much work. ;) You should look into the DBI:DBD modules for Perl. They will get you connected to just about any RDBMS you might need to. Quite easy to learn and use. > Also, something else, maybe this is supposed to happen, when I type in the > address, then the port for MySQL, it gives me this .. > > LÿjHost 'winxp.ministang.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL > server > > Is this supposed to happen? I think it is, because it doesn't have a web > server built in, right? Are you saying that you are putting this into your web browser? Then, yeah, that wont work. The webserver will pass it off to your CGI's then that will connect to the DB backend. MySQL was also rejecting you because it should be configured to reject everything except localhost by default. This wont cause you problems though. You don't really want anyone else connecting directly to your MySQL server (except in certain circumstances, that are not likely what you are dealing with). -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.
