sql server compact edition odbc brings me to this "social.msdn.microsoft.com" post, which links, among others, to how to add data to an SDF file from Excel (etc.) via ODBC resp. ADO.

Looking at DBD::ADO, you can supply it an ODBC connection string, so you should be able to use the same connection string as the VBA code, mutatis mutandis. If it still "doesn't work", you will have to post code. Maybe you are using relative path names instead of absolute path names, or you are not doubling the backslashes where it matters, or some other things. It's hard to tell without seeing the failing code.

Update: The DBD::ADO documentation says to use

dbi:ADO:Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\data\test.mdb

[download]

as the connection string, so likely the following should work for the SQL CE server:

dbi:ADO:PROVIDER=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.CE.OLEDB.3.5;Data Source=C:\North
+wind.sdf
