Use the DBI suite of modules.
DBD::ODBC can handle the Access portion, and you can use DBD::CSV or DBD::RAM for the text file.
Depending on your text, the latter's probably overkill as you could get away with something like ...
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans serif">code:</font><HR>
#!perl
use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:MyAccessDB") | | die $DBI::errstr;
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO tables VALUES (?,?,?,?)") | | die $dbh->errstr;
open TEXT, "MyTextDB.txt" | | die "Can't open MyTextDB.txt: $!";
while(<TEXT> ) {
chomp;
my(@values) = split /,/, 4;
$sth->execute(@values) | | die $sth->errstr;
}
$sth->finnish;
$dbh->disconnect;</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
... which would populate your Access db assuming it's four fields corresponded to four comma seperated fields in your text file.
You can download DBI, DBD::ODBC, and DBD::CSV via ppm (if you use ActiveState's perl) or CPAN (if you use one of the other varieties).
