You'll need to read up on DBI and install the appropriate module/driver from
cpan
(DBD-YourDriver and DBI)
here's a short guide to dbi you might want to read up at:
http://www.perl.com/pub/1999/10/DBI.html
That article also holds references to other sources, so i think that will be a
nice start.
good luck,
