[foxboro] AIM historian data access

We have used the cpb2csv and gethist utilities available on the Casandra web 
site for many years to extract data from our legacy historians on our Solaris 
boxes.  However, at one plant, we are migrating to the mesh, Windows, and AIM 
historian.  I looked initially at the propect of porting the gethist c program 
to Windows, but do not relish the thought.  As an alternative, it appears that 
one should be able to provide the functionality of gethist on Windows with 
ActiveStates's perl implementation and the Win32::ODBC module.  Since my 
efforts thus far have not been successful, I thought I would ask the list if 
anyone has had any experience in this area.  If so, might you have some tips or 
even code examples to help me on my way.  It was a bit of a search to find 
documentation on the AIM ODBC driver (finally pieced some together from a 
combination of AIM Datalink, AIM Historian, and the Report Package docs), and 
the Win32::ODBC documentation is a little terse sometimes for a hac
 ker su
ch as myself.
Thanks,

Roger Smith
