Not that I know of, at least not a current one. I do recall that
someone posted a few years ago on it.

If you can get Perl DBI talking to DBD::ODBC and thence to your
MS-SQL server, then it will work with Interchange. But I wouldn't
have the foggiest how to do that beyond obtaining some ODBC drivers
and installing DBD::ODBC....
