In general, you want to thoroughly read the Win32::OLE documentation. The Roth books also have useful info for this type of Perl on Win32 work.

Here is code I've used in the past to get you started, YMMV with newer versions of ADO.

use Win32 qw( in );

my $ConnStr = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Se
+curity Info=False;Data Source=server;Initial Catalog=database;";
my $AdoConn = new Win32::OLE("ADODB.Connection");

$AdoConn->Open($ConnStr);

my $AdoRs = new Win32::OLE("ADODB.Recordset");

my $sql = "select * from table";
$AdoRs->Open($sql, $AdoConn);

ROW: while (!$AdoRs->{EOF}) {
    my @col;
    for my $field ( in $AdoRs->Fields ) {
      push @col, $field->{Value};
    }
    # ...

} continue {
    $AdoRs->MoveNext();
}

$AdoRs->Close();

You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake; well, this could be it, sweetheart.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
