David-
thanks. yes, thats one way - but that (of course) requires a new class.
why? oh, just so I could email the passwords of all the usernames to me!
:) and I wanted to log into another server under the covers...
in a way, I'd like to "ssh $server $sql" :] (without being prompted for
a password)
Cheers,
Steve

dlandg :I guess you could subclass DBI and sqirrel away the pw in the connect
dlandg :method. and add a method to retrieve it afterwards...
dlandg :
