The DBI module should work under Win32 without any problems. You can use the DBD::ODBC module to connect to Access databases. Both of these modules are available from ActiveState's module repository.
Another option would be the Win32::ODBC module, but
that's guaranteed to be non-portable.

Just to add a small note:
By using PPM (just type ppm at the commandprompt) you can install the DBI and DBD::ODBC modules from the modulerepository.

Depending on how much of Win32::ODBC you use, it is not hard to
write a small wrapper around DBI to make it look like
Win32::ODBC. I did a workable one for myself in a couple
of hours when I needed to cheaply port some scripts...

From what I can see from monitoring the dbi mailing list, news of dbi's death is quite premature. Tim Bunce author of DBI seems as committed as ever and is already looking ahead to how to keep dbi migrating into perl 6 when the time comes.
I'd love to know who (what your sources) are on dbi dying. On the surface it sure looks like you've made a very irresponsible post.
