Message: [QUOTE="Jens Thoms Toerring, post: 4841248"] You don't need to have ssh access to the remote database server in order to be able to connect to the database (at least if the database server is configured to wait for remote connections). There's huge amount of packages for accessing databases in Perl, mostly via the DBI module. For introductory articles see e.g. [URL]http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2003/10/23/databases.html[/URL] or [URL]http://dc.pm.org/talks/perl_db.html[/URL] (a Google search for "database perl" will give you a lot more resources). The homepage for DBI is [URL]http://dbi.perl.org/[/URL] Beside a download of the package (and lots of further modules based on DBI) you will find there a number of articles and tutorials. If you're into OO programing (and want to avoid writing SQL;-) have a look at the DBIx::Class package [URL]http://search.cpan.org/~mstrout/DBIx-Class-0.08003/lib/DBIx/Class.pm[/URL] Regards, Jens [/QUOTE]
