Nonsense, it's got nothing on
Unlambda

Answering the question, use the DBI module and DBD:ODBC (or DBD:ADO) driver, or Win32::ODBC, or use Win32::OLE to create ADO connections -- there's something of a trade-off between database independence and functionality, with DBI being more DB-independent and Win32::ODBC being more functional.
I don't know any of this stuff, it's just that there's a copy of Programming the Perl DBI by Alligator Descartes* and Tim Bunce on the desk next to mine.

* Yes, this is a bloody silly nom de plume, but it makes a kind of sense if you know his real name.

Oh my god. I read the Unlambda fibonacci sequence example and spent the next twenty minutes trying in vain to scratch my eyeballs out
