However I seem to recall that it is something to do with the Apache mod_env it is probable that the precompiled version of Apache with your system has omitted this module - you can include it by recompiling Apache with the appropriate configuration. I cant seen any reason though that you shouldnt do $ENV{'DBPATH'} = $ENV{'DBPATH'} . ":/path/to/database"; in your program although I havent got Informix on this machine so I cant test it out. /J\\ -- Jonathan Stowe <jns@btinternet.com> Some of your questions answered: <URL:http://www.btinternet.com/~gellyfish/resources/wwwfaq.htm>; Hastings: <URL:http://www.newhoo.com/Regional/UK/England/East_Sussex/Hastings>;
