Accessing MS SQL Server 2005

I need to talk to MS SQL Server 2005 (from windows running activestate
version 5.8) Besides ADO and OLE, what other options might be available?
Any geographic information related to binaries/source
locations/installations would be helpful.=20

Also, I've read about Jeff Urlwin's DBD-ODBC but was unable to install
to windows using the cpan module for some reason. And the activestate
repository version is quite deprecated. I was wondering if there were
alternative sources for this, unless there's reason not to pursue it..

TIA
Mark

Mark,

Looks like DBI modules on CPAN for SQL Server are relying on DBD-ODBC
module at least for the connection.=20
Not sure, but you may not be able to avoid DBD-ODBC installation.

Regards,

Mehmet

Depends how desperate you are I suppose. There's a Perl [1] with DBD::ODBC
already installed, with instructions [2]
