Hello Jack, If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to run a perl app on your webserver and have it connect to your database server?
What's wrong with setting the host name/ip if your DB server in the DSN? e.g.: my $dsn = "dbi:*SQL Platform*:*database_name*:*host_name*:*port" * Am I maybe misunderstanding your question?
