Your SQL looks fine (although I think the words SELECT, FROM, and WHERE should be capitalized). The problem is that you need to execute the SQL statement, then assign the returned information to a data structure.
The code below will push the data that gets returned into a hash for each row, which you can then use to get a number. In this case, it looks like you would only have one row returned but the code below allows for multiple instances of the value.
my @rows;
die qq(SQL failed: ), $db->Error(), qq(\n) if ($db->Sql("SELECT srv_id
+ FROM server_tbl WHERE srv_name='$srv'"));
while ($db->FetchRow()) {
my %data = $db->DataHash();
print qq(Index key is $data{"srv_id"}\n); #srv_id value
# If you want to store information from multiple rows
push @rows, {%data};
}
You should also check to make sure that your first SQL statement happened correctly. Check out Web Deployment Schemes for some examples on how to work with Win32::ODBC.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
