  DBD::ODBC is your ticket, running under DBI

  You can probably install DBD::ODBC for Activestate perl with
  the ppm installer, as they will likely already have compiled
  it for you.  Apache::DBI is installed with CPAN.
  
 
 What's the stability of DBD::ODBC like?  It claims to be alpha software. 
 Does anyone have any experience with it in a production environment?  Is it
 at least stable with MS SQL server?

The Alpha tag is a relic. I believe DBD::ODBC is fine and in widespread production use.
