You'll probably get better response from Perl-Win32-Database,
but, the select statement you have is selecting all fields in $tablename
you'll need to be more specific:
SELECT (FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3) FROM $tablename WHERE FIELD1 LIKE
$string ##untested, maybe incorrect on the WHERE
This would return FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3 from $tablename where FIELD1 is
like $string(kind of like FIELD1=~/$string/ of sorts)
I found quite a bit of docs searching on google:
http://www.google.com/search?q=sql+select&meta=lr%3D%26hl%3Den
for SQL server and ODBC/Access
