i want to do some find and replace job in a text file. While the find text and replace with text are from a .mdb file. The .mdb file contains a table with 2 column, 1st column is full(full name) and the second one is abb(abbreviated name). In the text file i want to find the full text and replace it with the corresponding abbreviated text. 
test.txt
This is an example section.
And the second line has structural science.

jabb.mdb
full    | abb
-------------
example | eg
expand  | exp
section | sect
science | sci

test.out (required output)
This is an eg sect.
And the second line has structural sci.

With the following code i have written, nothing is happening. 
use Win32::ODBC;

open( IN, '<', 'test.txt' ) or die "Couldn't open infile.\n$!";
open( OUT, '>', 'test.out' ) or die "Couldn't open outfile.\n$!";

   $dsn = "test_dsn";
  
   $db = new Win32::ODBC($dsn);
   die "ERROR: Failed to open database\n" if(!$db);

   $sql = "SELECT * from jabb";
   
   $db->Sql($sql);
    
   while ($db->FetchRow()) {
      ($full, $abb) = $db->Data("full", "abb");
      while(IN){
          s!$full!$abb!g;     
          print $_;
          print OUT $_;
      }
      close(OUT);
   }
   $db->Close();
