Hi,

Iam new to DBI.

I have an MS Access DB running on a windows machine. I need to access
this DB from a linux machine using perl script.
How do I go about?
Any help on this is highly appreciated

Thanks in advance
Anil

Now, that's what I call a FREQUENTLY asked question.

If you did not read the DBI FAQ, do it and you will find your answer.
Some hints:

<http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.59/lib/DBI/FAQ.pm#3.4_Can_I_access_Microsoft_Access_or_SQL-Server_databases_with_DBI?>
<http://search.cpan.org/~mjevans/DBD-ODBC-1.14/ODBC.pm#Frequently_Asked_Questions>

And, not stated that clearly in both documents: You can also access
Access via DBD::Proxy or the new DBD::Gofer (both part of the DBI
distribution), for both, you need to run a Perl process on the Windows
machine.
