in reply to MS Access mdb files

I had to deal with something similar. However, in my case I simply asked the vendor to export each table data in a separate CSV file. Parsing CSV is much more straightforward than raw mdb (especially with the help of tilly's Text::xSV module!) So, just a suggestion, you might appeal to them for a 'cleaner' data dump.

Excuse me for not including any Perl code, however ;/.

    Try the following: On the UNIX/Linux machine install DBI and all the modules to support DBD::Proxy. On the Windows system install DBI, all the modules for DBD::Proxy, and DBD::ODBC. So you end up making a connection through a ProxyServer.
