in reply to Close Access db using Perl

It seems that you're not closing the database, but the handle you got opening that database. If you want the database to be closed in the sense that there's no connection to it, you must tell the piece of software that handles the connections / monitors the database to close the connections, invalidate the handles and mark the database as closed.

That's somewhat nebulous, as I really seldom have to do anything w/windows...
