Ok.. tell me how I can call it securely? Same problem, if it has a password, it is visible in perl script, and other people can write something to access the request daemon.

    It's a daemon, root can run it, you can fire it up at run time,by adding it to rc.d.
    Since root ran it you can store the DB settings in a file only root can access (you can use another user, it doesn't have to be root).

      Right... but how do you prevent any script on the system from asking for the DB settings?

        This is where we came in, isn't it?

        How's about having a db table of all the permitted scripts and methods to retrieve this data and amend it?
