1) You need two modules: DBI and DBD::ODBC 2) You need to create an ODBC data source referring to the database file. 3) Connect to the database like this: $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:$DSN_NAME") or die "Couldn't connect to $DSN_NAME: $DBI::errstr\n\n"; # where $DSN_NAME is the name of the ODBC data source # you created in step 2 > 1.way I can't install dbi when I am offline?
