Hi, Thought I'd jump in here, cos it's either write this or do some work - god forbid.

If you use DBD::XBase I think it directly accessed the database file, so you will need to make the file available across the network in such a way as to give the running Apache access to it. If the file's on a w2k system, that probably means sharing the directory it's in and smbmounting the share on the linux box, giving Apache's user access. If you use DBD::ODBC, you need to configure the ODBC on the w2k system to enable remote systems ODBC access to that file. Sorry, but I can't help you with this bit. Either way, the perldocs (including perldoc DBI) will show you how to use the database once it's available.
