Thanks so much Emilio,

Here's the working script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Mysql;
$Check = $ENV{"CALLING_STATION_ID"};
$db = Mysql->connect("localhost","radius","root","");
$status = $db->Mysql::query("select if((select CallingStationId from
radcheck where CallingStationId =$Check order by Id limit
1),'y','n')");
($Callerid_check)= $status->FetchRow();
if($Callerid_check eq 'n'){
exit 255;
}



regards,
rsg.
