i had this script running great on my old NT server under perl 5.00307, but when my isp upgraded, i am now getting error messages. i can't for the life of me figure out what is wrong, and the guy there couldn't help me out at all either. i'm assuming it is a pathway problem of some sort due to the error message, but i can't figure it out. here's the error i'm getting...

Hello cvsiv:

My best guess is that you need to hardcode the path:
$db_script_path =

It was probably set to "." before and it worked but after they upgraded it does not work anymore. Hard code the path and I think it should work. If not give me telnet access and I will take a look at it.
