In addition to grep's correct reference to the open office website, it appears that they are suggesting you use the Java Access Bridge as your interface handler.
I found this reference on the open office website
Java Access Bridge

Since you haven't elaborated on the desired outcome of your system, I can only bring up the questions based on my own experiences. I hope you do well on this project, and hope that the links and suggestions/questions will help get you to your goal. It looks like you are destined to use the Java Bridge, but consider the following:

Have you tried to link to the OpenOffice tables using your Windblows MSAccess?

Are you writing this in activeperl an Windblows, and then plan to move it to a MacPerl environment?

Is the Windblows XP going to be a part of the end system?

I ask all of these question due to your comment about having this code already working for MSAccess.

There are ODBC's available for the use on a Mac that let you plug into Access databases from the Mac.

I googled and this was the top link ODBC for Mac to MS Access

Though this is not a Perl solution, it may be an easier path to success; However, that will depend mostly on your overall system design and use of your resources.

Good Luck!
