connecting to remote MSSQL server from DBI

Hello,

I have a general question and wonder if anyone here may have some advice on
where to start before I try putting together a solution.

Here is the situation:

Webserver: MAC OS X server running Apache 1.x
DB: On a remote server running MS SQL server


How do I set up a connection to this data base using DBI? When I have been
writing perl scripts on win32 web servers, I set up a DSN (Data source name)
on the web server that is an ODBC connection to the database server and then
connect using DBI::ODBC.

Is there a corollary to this on a MAC OS X server? Or should I go about
connecting in a different way.

Sorry for the general nature of this question. I tried looking aroun don
the net first and I really could find anything for this specific situation.


Thanks,

Jordan
