Perl and Microsoft Access
Is it possible to read and write to a Microsoft Access database? If so how can I find out how to do it?
Are you on a win32 machine?

I use phone link to an NT box
Is the machine on which you execute the code a win32 machine? If it is, you can use the Win32::ODBC module. If not, you're either out of luck, or you can set up a perlserver on a Win32 machine which will do it for you.

My server admin came back to me with the following answer:
The answer is, yes we are WindowsNT which is 32 bit. They are
referring to a library module that contains code for accessing Access dB's using ODBC. Anyway, we need to find this Perl library routine and load it on the server so that you can call it's routines. If you find something, Email it to me and I'll load it on the server and send you the path.
Does this help?

Thanks - Looks to me like it is a lot easier to just use files in perl.
