in bizarro world, you could write your data access calls in middleware
ASP code on the windows server, and call those procedures with a http
GET from your perl.
there's some strange attractions to this methodology. it greatly
simplifies access control to the MS SQL, the perl -> windows interface
is confined to very simple and well understood http, the windows guys
can audit your SQL code in their comfort zone.
