And, in case you're curious, here's a throwaway program I threw together once just to see if I could get it to work:

use Win32::ODBC;

$Data = new Win32::ODBC("DatbaseTest");

unless (defined($Data)) {
    print "Failed to connect to the DSN.\n";
    exit();
}

$command = qq{SELECT * FROM "Test Table" WHERE (("vacancy" = 'W9920') 
+AND ("FullName" CONTAINS 'ke'))};

if (! $Data->Sql($command)){
    @FieldNames = $Data->FieldNames();

    while($Data->FetchRow()){
          undef %Data;
            %record = $Data->DataHash();
            print "Name is $record{'FullName'}\n";

      }
    exit();
} else {
    print "Error:".Win32::ODBC::Error();
}

This assumes, of course, that you have established an ODBC data source using the ODBC Control Panel in Win98/NT.

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.
