Hello again.
I am attempting to create a perl program, that runs off of a mySQL database. The first perl script initializes the database, then uses it. The first script then calls the second (as a frame in the page created). Do I need to initialize mySQL (connect) again in the second script?

Thanks! http://www.datera.com

The answer is (probably) yes.

The question is really whether the "called script" inheirits the open file descriptors of the "caller". For most scripting languages (and the perl implementations that I know of), the answer is no, and so you have to open the connection again.

I agree with Erik. I don't see how a file descriptor can be passed from one script to another. Maybe by setting an environment variable?
