I took what you did with the showing how many reports are there... and bastardized it slowly back to what my original idea was... and somehow it worked this time... here's how it's done. 
#!/Perl/bin/perl

use Win32::OLE;

    my $path = "XXX";        

    my $access = Win32::OLE->new('Access.Application');
    
    $access->OpenCurrentDatabase($path);
    
        #Don't show the window    
        $access->{Visible} = 0;

        #Open the report in design mode
    $access->DoCmd->OpenReport("XXX",1);
    
        #Change the recordsource
    $access->Reports->Item(0)->{RecordSource} = "XXX";
    
        #Save the report
    $access->DoCmd->Save(3,XXX);
    
        #Quit
    $access->DoCmd->Quit(2);
