Hello,
=20
I'm just trying to come up to speed on all of this and wanted to make
sure I'm following along with what I need to do:
=20
In order for me to use Perl to access MS SQL Server, I need to install
both the DBI-1.52 module & the DBD-ODBC module, is this correct? The
DBI module will install dbi.pl that the ODBC module needs, is that how
it works?
=20
thanks,

Chris,

Yes, you must install both modules.

When you specify your connect string (or DSN in ODBC lingo), it will
define which database specific driver you will use.

Read this http://dbi.perl.org/about/ for a description of how the DBI
works. =20
