Attunity Connect can allow you to use other DB's from VMS and vice versa, some of the software comes bundled with VMS these days, try http://www.attunity.com/products/OpenVMS.htm

It started out as a way to use ODBC to connect to RMS files, treating each file as a table. You may be able to use it to connect back from VMS to a PC. Anyone know whether it's been used with Perl? --Bob van Keuren AMS San Diego -----Original Message----- From: Mark Berryman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 3:44 pm To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Using VMS Perl to access a Microsoft Access database 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]
