It seems that an internet connection from a browser to my unix/apache hosted mysql database presents itself as some user to whom I haven't yet given permissions because the calling web page gives up without a whimper. I have generous permissions for 'root', 'nobody' and 'localhost'. The perl script works fine from my shell acount (through a socket) and works up till the connect statement in the browser. How can I 'identify' the browser or change the script to accomodate a browser connection.
