Platform SCO OpenServer 5

Hi,

I have been looking at this for the past day and I am stumped !!!

On Server A: I have a wrapper script which executes a perl script to
connect to a db.
When I execute this script as user uucp on the server everything works
fine.

However, when I uux a command to execute this script from another host -
the database connection fails !!!
No error information is printed.

uucp Permissions have been checked and are ok.

Now, if I was to change the following line in the perl program from:
Path=>"$ENV{MY_DATABASE}",
to:
Path=>"/usr/local/bin/www.gdb",

everything works fine.

Please, can anybody help?

thanks
bill

Script a.sh:
--------

#! /bin/sh

MY_DATABASE=/usr/local/bin/www.gdb
export MY_DATABASE
/usr/local/bin/a.pl

# end of a.sh

Perl program a.pl:
-------------
#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use IBPerl;

my ($db, $tr, $st, %row);

$db = new IBPerl::Connection(
Path=>"$ENV{MY_DATABASE}",
User=>'user',
Password=>'password'
);

if ($db->{Handle} < 0) { die "Error in connection was: $db->{'Error'}" }

# end of a.pl
