Well, this is another fine MSSQL you've gotten me into OlleDb...
Sorry, I couldn't resist. And if you're a Perl Monger like me, you shouldn't either. SQL Server MVP Erland Sommarskog has just spun out MSSQL::OlleDB, a mod for working with MSSQL Server using OLE-DB (thus the name). There's a ton of documentation provided too, with examples.
Enjoy!
