Welcome, Pete.  

I always smile when I read messages like yours.  Take an unlikely amalgam of 
stuff -- "Well, it *should* work" -- read the docs, check the archives, and 
voila! Perl on a Mac talking to a Microsoft server.  We're talking at least 
four "vendors" here.  Wanna take any bets how well it would have worked if it 
were all proprietary?

UG contributions welcome in any form.  I don't use a Mac, so I basically 
parrot what I read here about what needs doing.
