I once wrote a perl script that connected to an Access Database using the Win32::ODBC module...
Here is a bit of code to get you started:
# Load the module
use Win32::ODBC;
# Make a new database object, the dsn,
# userid, and password are things you need
# to fill in
my($db) = new Win32::ODBC("dsn=yourdsn; uid=foo; pwd=bar");
# Send the database some SQL
$db->Sql("SELECT * FROM your_table");
#print out some stuff
while ($db->FetchRow()) {
my(%data) = $db->DataHash();
print "Your data is: $data{'some_value'}";
}
# Close the database
$db->Close();
It is a good idea to include statements that check for errors... maybe you should read this tutorial.
