Thanks, Bob, for the reply. however, I have mysql/perl isntalled on our linux already
would it work for linux? Hrm...it's nice to offer, I just wanted to make that clear so I don't waste your time lol I'm just trying to tell if dbi itself is installed or not. I guess I have to go to the mysql site and download it, but do I install the DBI for perl or since I am using mysql *just* the specified DBD for mysql? That's what is confusing me. Dbi I thought would do it, but then I see a db*d*, not dbi for mysql. So does that mean I need both or just one? Wow, I bet this is so easy 100's are laughing ;) I do thank you however for offering the help, I just don't know if it would be compatible, but it is nice of you to offer. Thanks Joel
