Easiest way is set up and ODBC driver to connect to the mysql database. VBA lets you query ODBC so you can program in the queries and bypass the perl script.

If there are functions in the perl script you can not do in VBA you could install Active State Perl on the Windows Machine and use perl to via ODBC to connect to the Linux Box, process the data and use Win32::OLE to control Excel, or to use Excel::Template moduels to create the data structure. It all really depends on what you are doing with the data.

I think the description you have your best bet would be to use the mySQL ODBC drivers and use straight vba.

I feel sick from uttering those words.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
