Reading dbf file over network possible?

[Vijoy Varghese]

Hello Group,

My perl program is on a Mac OSX and the dbf file on a Windows
machine(both networked).
My question is can I perform a DBI->connect("DBI:XBase: ... ") from
the Mac to access the dbf file on Windows machine giving its IP
address? If yes, what will be its format? Do I need any other Perl
networking modules to do so?

Or is there is any other option?

Or is its something IMPOSSIBLE?
Waiting for some help

TIA
