MS Access in Linux Environment using perl?

perlsen has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,

I Have one MS Access database with Five tables, all five tables are needs to be import as or save as tab delimited text(CSV) in Linux Environment.

How can I do that with the help of perl.

I tried DBD::ODBC module, but I had a problem to set up System DSN in Linux environment. I completed this work in Windows environment.

Can anyone suggest me how to do this?

Thanks in Advance,
perlsen

Hi perlsen, Did you use the Super Search tool before posting? This question has come up a few times, take a look at getting data from a Microsoft Access DB (.mdb file) and dragonchilds response. Hope this helps. Martin	[reply]
