And, in case you're curious, here's a throwaway program I threw together once just to see if I could get it to work: 
use Win32::ODBC;

$Data = new Win32::ODBC("DatbaseTest");

unless (defined($Data)) {
    print "Failed to connect to the DSN.\n";
    exit();
}

$command = qq{SELECT * FROM "Test Table" WHERE (("vacancy" = 'W9920') 
+AND ("FullName" CONTAINS 'ke'))};

if (! $Data->Sql($command)){
    @FieldNames = $Data->FieldNames();

    while($Data->FetchRow()){
          undef %Data;
            %record = $Data->DataHash();
            print "Name is $record{'FullName'}\n";

      }
    exit();
} else {
    print "Error:".Win32::ODBC::Error();
}

This assumes, of course, that you have established an ODBC data source using the ODBC Control Panel in Win98/NT.
