Re: Shared Objects (Dynamic loading)

The actual scenario is like my perl code is on one computer and database
server is on the other
computer. The perl code needs to connect to that database server residing on
a diff computer.

I think client machine should also have DBI module in it. right?

Also, how much of a change would it be if i have to migrate my triggers and
functions written for C to Perl

Thanks,
Jas
