Warning: This is completely untested. I don't have MS Access, and I never use Win32:OLE, but at least I know what it is.
I found the VBA script (emdeded in POD in the program below), to do this here, and I've made an attempt to convert is to Perl/OLE to give you a starting point. (But don't ask me questions cos I won't know the answers. Well, you can try, but you've been warned:)
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;
=VBA
Dim accessApp as Access.Application
Dim strDB as string
Dim strImport as string
set accessApp = new Access.Application
strDB = "C:\Test\MyDatabase.mdb"
strImport = "R:\Download\ImportFile.txt"
accessApp.OpenCurrentDatabase strDB
accessApp.DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "TableX", strImport, -1
accessApp.CloseCurrentDatabase
=cut
## connect to Access
my $access = Win32::OLE->new 'Access.Application' )
or die "Cannot create Access object:$!\n";
## connect to the database
$access->OpenCurrentDatabase( 'x:\The\path\to\your\database.mdb');
## run the import command
$access->DoCmd->TransferText(
',', ## The delimiter
0, ## First line contains field names. (1 if yes)
'YourTableName', ## The name of the table to import to
'x:/the/path/to/the/file.csv', ## file to import
-1 ########### Haven't a clue what this is,
## but you should be able to work it out by looking at the
## Text Transfer menu
) or die $^E;
## and done
$access->Quit();

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).
