I also wanted to query an Access Database from an OpenVMS system.
I was able to do this using DBD::Proxy with a couple of days
of low priority effort.

On the same machine as the database or on a machine
that can access the database via a network share
you need...

DBI
RPC-PlRPC
Net-Daemon

After installing these modules, run the dbiproxy daemon with
arguments appropriate for your setup.

On the OpenVMS system I had to install...

Time-HiRes
DBI
RPC-PlRPC
Storage
Net-Daemon

at which point everything worked beautifully.

I have only one issue to resolve.  Passing stderr=1 to
DBI::connect() did not work for me.  I am using 
logfile=/nla0 as a work-around until I can investigate
further.
