answering my own question, i read back the newsgroup a little, and came across an article about perlcc. i tried this.. perlcc -o output input.pl however, since my program uses DBI, the end compiled program reads:
Connecting to SQL... Undefined subroutine &DBI::dr::connect called at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/DBI.pm line 503. Undefined subroutine &DBI::dr::disconnect_all called at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/DBI.pm line 565. END failed--call queue aborted. any ideas how i may be able to come over this? dan "Paul Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:50164.193.134.254.145.1036676071.squirrel@;wesley.pjcj.net... > > dan said: > > Hi again! > > > > It's occured to me with my perl program near completion, that the person > > that's "hosting" my program isn't.. let's say..
