I do not use Win32:ODBC, since I have had trouble with it. I use fetchrow_hashref and then I get just the columns I need and push them into my keeper stack. In the following example, Phoophoo is the name of the MS Access database configured under ODBC and X_Master is the name of the table. Here is a snippet of the code that I use: 
use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:ODBC:phoophoo", "", "",
    {RaiseError => 1, PrintError => 1, AutoCommit => 1} ) or
die "Unable to connect: " . $DBI::errstr . "\n";

my $sql="SELECT col_one FROM X_Master WHERE col_one <> ''";
    print "$sql\n" if $VERBOSE;
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql) || die $dbh->errstr();
    $sth->execute() || die $sth->errstr();
    
    while( my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref ) {
        push @new_col, $row->{col_one};
    }


$sth->finish();
$dbh->disconnect;
