hello there !! in the spirt of the "there is more ways to do this" I offer my registry hacking solution to create an odbc connection to an Access db (it be can changed very easily in this way: create your new custom DSN and check the registry at LocalMachine/Software/ODBC/ODBC.INI and change the script in accord with your needs) 
##at the beginning of the scripts
use Win32::TieRegistry ( Delimiter=>"/" );

#then

&create_dsn(10.0.0.55,'c:/your/path/aaa.mdb','myCustomDSN');

#here the good stuff!!


sub  create_dsn  #####################################################

{
 my $ip = shift;
 my $dbq= shift;
 my $nuovo_dsn= shift;
 my $descrizione="your description ";
 unless( $registry_remoto = $Registry->Connect( "$ip", "LMachine" )){r
+eturn "Error connecting to remote registry: $^E"}
 my $odbc_ini = $registry_remoto->{"Software/ODBC/ODBC.INI"}||return "
+$^E";
 my $odbc_data_sources= $odbc_ini->{"ODBC Data Sources"}||return "$^E"
+;
      #be carefull if there are no dsn on that machine then no "ODBC D
+ata Sources" exists!! 

 foreach my $dsn(sort keys %{$odbc_data_sources})
            {
             $dsn=~s/\///;
             $dsn eq $nuovo_dsn ? return "$nuovo_dsn yet exists!! plz

Your remaining task is the sub to delete it but is quite easy.

hope this help
