    Hi,

    Does anyone have experience on migrating a database from FileMaker to MySQL?
    I have read some web pages and got lots of help on this topic. For example,
    this page:
    http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/filemaker_mysql_whitepaper/file
    maker_to_mysql_whitepaper01.htm

    It seems to me the ActivePerl has to be installed on the same machine that
    FileMaker resides. But, for whatever reason I have to install the ActivePerl
    on a machine other than the one having FileMaker. Does this separation
    prevent me from migrating the database?

    Does anyone know a better way to do this task?

    thank you in advance,
    Kejun
