ADO connection to mssql database

[Mike]

I am trying to connect to an mssql database on windows server 2003 from
a perl script running on Netware 6.5 by using ADO. So far I have not had
any success. I am looking for some examples to get me start from people
who have successfully accomplished this with the environment similar to
my. Any examples of connection strings would be very helpful. Thanks!

how should this work?? Take a look at the source:
http://search.cpan.org/src/SGOELDNER/DBD-ADO-2.95/lib/DBD/ADO.pm
and you will find at line 6:
use Win32::OLE();
so I cant imagine how you can even start a testscript without getting an
abort?? I would guess that once you have a 'use DBD::ADO;' in your script it
will directly breaks...?
