I need to clean up approx modules in approx 400+ MS Access (2002 and 2007) databases. To me Perl solution appears the most efficient. However, I have not yet found a code that would allow me to e.g list Modules and Class Modules in an Access DB. In VBA, there is a collection Modules, through which you can access individual objects, but how does one get to that collection in Perl? I tried opening the DB using ADO or OLE or ODBC and cannot get to Modules.

Ideally, I'd like to do the following

  1. for each of the dbs, access the list of modules
  2. check each module if it needs processing (adding lines of code if certain conditions are met)
  3. save my changes

What I do not know is how to access the modules and if I can process them in place or if I need to export the module into text, modify it, and import it back into Access.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
