Unfortunately, you can't _directly_ produce an access database, but you should look at two modules: Win32::OLE and Win32::ODBC With OLE, you can create an Access.Application object and build your DB. Hmm, one other possibility is that DBI supports a file-based DB that Access also does. You may try browsing the DBD modules to see if that's possible.

I'd personally use Win32::ODBC. You should be able to find more info or examples on http://www.roth.net You may also find the Super Search enlightening; as the question comes up infrequently.
HTH! :)
