That's too vague.
Basically, please explain your constraints.
If there are none, then it gets a lot easier.
First, my assumptions, based what you wrote:
1. You have some data in Access running on Windows.
2. The part you are interested in is text.
3. You need to get it out to be processed by perl.
4. You want to inject some formatting using perl.
Second, my suggested approach:
A. Dump the text out as ascii.
B. Run a formatting program over the data.
Yes, this implies no perl.
Are there some constraints that make this
inappropriate, or is one of my assumptions
wrong?
