I tried to create the whole scenario again but got lost. BUT, I have this 
question at this moment.

(1) What files do I need for perl (on Linux) to talk with MS SQL Server (on 
Win32 machine)?
(2) I am looking at a lot, and not sure which is needed and which is not. 
DBD::ODBC, DBD::Sybase, FreeTDS ODBC and iODBC?

Thank you,
Calvin
