<p>In the end, I was able to download the Microsoft Data Provider for this from [href://http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=90&p=&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=7554F536-8C28-4598-9B72-EF94E038C891&u=http%3a%2f%2fdownload.microsoft.com%2fdownload%2ff%2fd%2f8%2ffd8c20d8-e38a-48b6-8691-542403b91da1%2fAccessDatabaseEngine.exe|Microsoft].</p>
<p>The solution is non-Perl, but if you need it, the connection string is of the form:</p>
<code>
Data Source=D:\Test.xlsx;Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;
</code>
