Using ADO seems easier than using DAO/Jet.
Here is a bit that reads a database (never got as far as looking at writing, let alone writing a blob, so might not help much).
#Using ADO from PERL
use Win32::OLE;
my $Conn=Win32::OLE->new('ADODB.Connection') or die "Unable to create
+ADODB.Connection";
#NB.You will need to set up the DSN in the ODBC Data Manager (Control
+Panel)
# MUST be done on the System DSN tab, you may to enter user name an
+d password
#Don't or die on these methods - it dies every time!
$Conn->Open("<db name in Data Manager>","<optional userid>","<optional
+ password>");
$RS=$Conn->Execute("SELECT * FROM <table>");
$RS->MoveFirst();
until ($RS->Eof()) {
print $RS->Fields->{'Name'}->Value,"\n";
$RS->MoveNext();
}
$RS->Close;
$Conn->Close;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
