On Win32 you should try ADO datbase access (really fast).
This makes converting most VB apps to Perl really easy.
Since Perl supoports OLE try this:
#!c:\perl\bin\perl -w
use OLE;
# create ADO auto object
$conn = CreateObject OLE "ADODB.Connection" || die "CreateObject: $!";
# connect to data source
$conn->Open('Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=accessDB.mdb
+');
# query
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM my_table_name';
# build recordset
$rs = $conn->Execute($sql);
# loop through recordset
while(!$rs->EOF())
{
print $rs->Fields('my_field_name')->Value;
$rs->MoveNext();
}
# shut down the recordset
$rs->Close();
# close the data source
$conn->Close();
