I have a MS Access file on a Linux machine (actually mounted from a WinNT server using Samba). Is it possible to access this file with Perl and DBI? If so, what is required to do?
The WinNT file server has no ODBC service enabled, and the IT staff refuses to enable it, so I can only use a Samba mount to access the *.mdb file. Am I lost, or is there a possibility to use the MS Access file? I have read the DBD::ODBC man page and the FAQ mentioned therein. They only cover accessing the file over the WinNT ODBC service (or I misunderstood them). Thank you for any pointers!
