Re: is this a viable option?

Hello Jack,

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to run a perl app on your
webserver and have it connect to your database server?

What's wrong with setting the host name/ip if your DB server in the DSN?

e.g.:

my $dsn = "dbi:*SQL Platform*:*database_name*:*host_name*:*port"
*

Am I maybe misunderstanding your question?

Best Regards,
Jon A
