Looks like it's not dereferencing $rs->Fields('mydate')->Value pointing to a
scalar. I am not familiar with ADO, but have you tried this
print ${$rs->Fields('mydate')->Value};

Subject: Date/Time's with ADO
Question: How can I read in and use Microsoft Access Date/Time values
using ADO?
my $mydate = $rs->Fields('mydate')->Value;
It gives the following: Win32::OLE::Variant=SCALAR(0x2109fcc)
when I try to print what was read.
Also... How do I append a row? The O'reilly Perl DBI book doesn't go
into this in any level of detail at all. Here's what I tried:
$rs->AddNew();
$rs->Fields('User')->Value = 'Fred';
$rs->Update();
It gives me the following error on the line where I try to assign 'Fred'
to the column: Can't modify non lvalue subroutine call
Any answers from someone in the know would be greatly appreciated.
