All things are possible, but it depends on the type of interface that Business Objects exposes to the DLL.
If it's a OLE Automation type of thing (is it still called that or is it COM now?) then you can use Win32::OLE or some such to access it.
If you have a C API, then you can have the fun of writing an extension module using XS.

Don't make it to hard... there are some odbc thingies in activestate, but they're not that advanced.
What I learned is use the right tool for the job.
And what I learned is: VB is only good for writing quick iterfaces in windows. So use it likewise.
A craftsman also uses for certain jobs certain tools, you have to look it that way!
Off cource these are my opinions and some will diasagree.

Thanks for the advice. This seems to be a good philosophy
and not entirely limited to programming.

I'd look into IPC (Inter process communication), or some Win32 Modules.
