Hi,
Try this.
#Windows-based Perl/DBI/MS Access example
use DBI;
#open connection to Access database
$dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:ODBC:Clients');
#prepare and execute SQL statement
#note that the query ClientName etc below is just the example
# suit it with your own requirement
$sqlstatement="SELECT ClientName,ClientEmail FROM billing";
$sth = $dbh->prepare($sqlstatement);
$sth->execute ||
die "Could not execute SQL statement ... maybe invalid?";
#output database results
while (@row=$sth->fetchrow_array)
{ print "@row\n" }
If Microsoft Access is open and running while you try to execute these Perl scripts you may run into resource conflicts. If so, simply shutdown Microsoft Access before using Perl.
For further info read DBI module, besides searching the wealth of Perlmonks is always useful.
Regards,
Edward

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
