Also if you have the CPAN module installed, you can try installing it that
way. Here's the module for that:

It probably should already be installed, you just need to set it up.
In Win2k, it's Start->Settings->Control Panel and then select
"Administrative Tools" and then "Data Sources (ODBC)". Select 'Add', and it
should give you a list of all of the drivers that are installed. There
should be one for "Microsoft Access Database (*.mdb)".

Good Luck,
