You can, if you want to, use Win32::OLE to imitate the behaviour of the VB code:
sub open_conn {
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects';
$oConn = Win32::OLE->new('ADODB.Connection'); # creates a connection
+object
my $connectionString = '"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;DataSource=iblons3506\oi
+_c1_prd4;InitialCatalog=OMDPortal;UserID=OMDPortal_General;Password=o
+BfuScaTed;';
$oConn->Open ($connectionString);
}
But with any luck the answers provided by the other monks have already got you on your way.
You can run your SQL with $oConn->Execute($sql_command)

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).
