Then yeah, php or perl are your only choices.  Again, as is often the
case, better to tell us what you're tying to do, and ask for
suggestions, then to tell us what tool you think you need, and leave us
guessing as to motivation.  Happens a lot though, don't worry about it. 
It's just better to describe the problem generally.

Nice thing about using php or perl is that if you reach a point to where
ODBC can't give you what you need, there's native connect libraries for
most anything out there you can switch over to.
