WARNING: Perl novice on board... I suddenly find myself in the need of being able to access a Microsoft Access database from my VMS system. I figure Perl might be a good way to do this. However, I seem to be lost in the morass of verbage that talks about accessing a database via Perl so I'm turning here in the hopes of obtaining some hints or pointers (or, at least some water wings).
What module(s) do I need to load into Perl? Do I need any additional software? Has anyone done this? Can it be done? I had thought that the most likely way to accomplish this would be for Perl to talk to the Access database via ODBC but, I can't tell if there is a module that makes Perl speak ODBC natively; if I need an ODBC driver or other 3rd-party package; etc. Any help, tips, pointers, etc. greatly appreciated, Mark Berryman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
