Like Frodo wrote, get the DBI::ODBC DBD. If you have windows clients,
soften the blow with Win32::ODBC (read about it at
	http://www.bioinf.cs.uni-potsdam.de/doc/win32_odbc/
which has FAQ & a fair doc).
A good book that touches the perl side of DB access is Advanced Perl
Programming. It doesn't talk much about ODBC, though.
