Yuo need to use the DBI module and use the ODBC DBD driver.
 
Here is a sample code to connect:
 
# this is a test script to try to connect to a Microsoft SQL server
use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;  #Load the DBI module
our $dbh1 = DBI->connect('dbi:ODBC:yourodbcnamegoeshere', 'username', 'password) || die
 "Can't connect to servername\n";
 
print "Connected successfully to servername!\n";
 
$dbh1->disconnect
 or warn "Disconnection failed:  $DBI::errstr\n";
 
exit; 
 
 
Note that in the XP environment you must have the ODBC set up properly under control panel/administrative tools
 
Good luck!

Subject: Sql Server 2000 and Perl connectivity. Is it possible??

Hello All,
 
I wanted to connect to a MSSQL Server 2000 Database and was wondering if any of you guys can help me with this. I am having Perl 5.6 and am working on Win XP.
Also, I do have some machines in my workplace that are runnin on Linux.
 
Any leads/ advises/ suggestions/ solutions would be very much appreciated.
I am really stuck and am unable to find any proper solution even after doing a search with google.
 
If any of u gurus can help me with even the name of the module that I can use for this ... i would really appreciate it.
 
Hoping you will kindly oblige.
 
Thanks and Regards,
Ukhas Jean
