I have a perl cgi script which needs to be hooked into the Applications 11.5.9 security. This is easy to do from pl/sql (mod_plsql) utilizing the icx packages and the application's DAD. Anybody ever done this, have any ideas, pointers, FMs, etc for perl? Thanks, Ron. "To really screw up Linux you have to work at it...To really screw up Windows, you have to work ON it."
