in thread DB connection sharing w/o DBI?

you're close =] It's actually a large political war I'm trying to side-step. Short version is I'm taking functionality we have in one place and putting it in another because it makes sense. The official channels for getting that done are too busy arguing over who's got the bigger, errr.. I mean, who's going to get the credit. I figure if I just do it then the arguing becomes moot. But I have to do it without any official help, which means no altering the servers in any way I cannot as my own ID...fun, eh?

We speak the way we breathe. --Fugazi

no altering the servers in any way I cannot as my own ID.. Well, you can always install into your own directories by running 'perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/myhomedirectory/perl/lib', and then making sure that the directories and files are readable by everyone, and using 'use lib qw(/home/myhomedirectory);' in all the scripts you write (that's assuming you're doing the make/make test/make install thing instead of using the CPAN module or downloading an ActiveState PPM or ...?) :-)	[reply]
