Hello, I am trying to access SQL server database through perl ADO. Here is the sample code I use: 
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;

my $Conn;
my $RS;


$Conn = Win32::OLE->new("ADODB.Connection","Close") or die "ADO New Co
+nnection failed $!";
$RS = Win32::OLE->new("ADODB.Recordset") or die "ADO New Recordset fai
+led $!";
$Conn->Open("DSN=ENG_DB;UID=enguser;PWD=yt12xcj") or die "ADO Connecti
+on open failed $!";
$RS->Close;
$Conn->Close;

[download]
It fails at $Conn->Open line, but I can use the same Connection String("DSN=ENG_DB;UID=enguser;PWD=yt12xcj") in VB program successfully. Any idea or suggestion will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
