DBD::ODBC (say what?)

[Smith, Jim R]

I have a little experience with perl. 99.999% of it is on Unix.
My boss came up with a project involving an NT server, Microsoft SQL Server,
and MS-Access datbases.
I'm fairly confident that I can figure out perl and NT. I have read postings
that mention DBI,DBD::ODBC etc.
I need some guidance as to finding newbie documentation for the database
interface, and what modules I would need to
install on top of perl v5.6 to make this work.
Thanks for your help.
