[cpan://DBI]/[cpan://DBD] are well worth learning and this sounds like a good task to learn on... As for other methods, you could manually export in access, or write a vbscript thing to do it or maybe use [cpan://Win32::OLE] to control access to do it.<br>
<br>
here's a snippet that shows how i set up a [cpan://Class::DBI] connection (you can use the same connection string for DBI):
<code>
our $dbopts = { AutoCommit=>0, LongTruncOk => 1, LongReadLen => 255 };
our $dsn = GBPVR::CDBI::mdb2dsn('C:\foo.mdb');
MyPackage::CDBI->set_db('Main', "dbi:ODBC:$dsn", '', '', $dbopts );
sub mdb2dsn { my $mdb = shift; return 'driver=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb);dbq=' . $mdb; }
1;
</code>
<br>
DBI example (see the [Tutorials] as well):
<code>
use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn,$user,$pass,{ShowErrorStatement=>1,RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit=>0});
my $aref = $dbh->selectall_arrayref("select * from $table",{Slice=>{}}); # gives ref to AoH
