Thank you once again. I am on Win32 machine using ActivePerl. I had been doing Google search for the past few hours. There, sometimes you hit dirt ( like in my case for the past 5 hours) and sometimes gold . I hit one site which seems to give a lot of information on this - http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/Languages/Perl/PerlfortheWeb/prepare_access.html I will look into the site, you have given too. Kamali

If you're on a *nix machine, you should probably look into some of the links from that google search and import your .mdb into mysql before you try to access it using perl.
