Win32::ODBC comes bundled w/ the newer builds of ActiveState Perl (http://www.activestate.com). Define your Access DB as an ODBC source in the control panel, then call it as such. Example:

$SQLcall = "SELECT * FROM main WHERE main.whatever = '$whatever'";

use Win32::ODBC;

        $DB = new Win32::ODBC("TheNameYouGaveYourODBCSource");
    $DB->Sql("$SQLcall");

    $DB->FetchRow();
         $check = $DB->Data();

                    $getwhatever = $DB->Data("whateverfieldnameyouwant
+");
                    
     $DB->Close();
