I tested this script and — surprise! — it works.
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Access';
my $database = 'D:\Database.accdb';
my $csv_file = 'D:\Data.csv';
my $tbl_name = 'Data';
my $db = Win32::OLE->new('Access.Application')
or die "Cannot create Microsoft Access object\n";
$db->OpenCurrentDatabase($database);
$db->DoCmd->TransferText(acImportDelim, '', $tbl_name, $csv_file, -1);
$db->Quit();
exit 0;
It's remarkably fast, too.
The fifth argument to DoCmd->TransferText is the HasFieldNames parameter. -1 is True, which means the first line of the CSV file is a header.
The missing error checking is on-account-of-because I haven't figured it out yet. But I swear this script is slurping data into an Access database — quickly!

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).
