DBI/
DBD are well worth learning and this sounds like a good task to learn on... As for other methods, you could manually export in access, or write a vbscript thing to do it or maybe use
Win32::OLE to control access to do it.
here's a snippet that shows how i set up a
Class::DBI connection (you can use the same connection string for DBI):
our $dbopts = { AutoCommit=>0, LongTruncOk => 1, LongReadLen => 255 };
our $dsn = GBPVR::CDBI::mdb2dsn('C:\foo.mdb');
MyPackage::CDBI->set_db('Main', "dbi:ODBC:$dsn", '', '', $dbopts );
sub mdb2dsn { my $mdb = shift; return 'driver=Microsoft Access Driver
+(*.mdb);dbq=' . $mdb; }
1;
DBI example (see the
Tutorials as well):
use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn,$user,$pass,{ShowErrorStatement=>1,RaiseEr
+ror => 1, AutoCommit=>0});
my $aref = $dbh->selectall_arrayref("select * from $table",{Slice=>{}}
+); # gives ref to AoH

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).
