I have programmed in VB.Net and trying to learn PERL. I have read various methods searching with google, but none work. If it helps below is the code I would like to convert to PERL if possible. Dim sCon As String = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" Dim conp As String = "SELECT * INTO [Input] FROM [Text;DATABASE=" Dim WF As String = "W:\Glenn-123456\Test\" Dim Conn_1 As New OleDbConnection(sCon & WF & "\VDD\Data\DevComm1.mdb") Dim Comm_1 As New OleDbCommand(conp & WF & "\VDD\Data\;HDR=No].[DevComm1.txt]", Conn_1) Dim dSysDate As String = "" Conn_1.Open() Comm_1.ExecuteNonQuery() Conn_1.Close()
