ColonelPanic has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am trying to do a simple thing--use Perlscript to access a database on an ASP IIS site. I have found lots of related documentation and posts that either don't quite say what to do specifically, or assume you already know. There are detailed examples for different database access methods, but I don't know which is the correct one.

I am sure this is a common thing, but it doesn't explicitly tell how to do this anywhere, as far as I can tell. Would someone with Perlscript experience care to give an explanation/code sample? I'm sure it would be a useful resource for others as well as me.

Thanks in advance,
ColonelPanic

    There's an article on M$DN that has some sample code here. The related code is here. Start at Figure5 and work your way down.

    I hope this helps.
