in thread MS Access and Perl?

It does? What DBD would you use? Naive searchs on CPAN aren't pulling anything up. Seems like DBD::ADO might work, but it's not exactly obvious.

    In the past I've used code that starts:

    use strict; use warnings; use DBI; my $db_file = 'C:\...\database.edb'; my $dbh = DBI->connect ('dbi:ADO:Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=' . $db_file) or die $DBI::errstr;

    'database.edb' is an access database file. I don't recall any problem getting it to go, but it was some time ago now.
