defining a DSN for Access on Linux

Is it possible to connect to an MS access database on windows from a
linux machine using DBD::ODBC without needing unixODBC? Would I need to
first set up a system DSN on the windows machine or according to the
DBD::ODBC documentation can I connect without a 'full' DSN, whatever
that is? Something like:
my $DSN = 'server,port,database name,driver,whatever else goes here';
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi::ODBC:$DSN');
What would a well formed DSN look like in this situation if it were
possible, or where can I find intelligible documentation? The
documentation in DBD::ODBC on DSN's is nearly occult to me. I cannot
seem to find any reasonable documentation on the web, only random
examples that betray clues as to the DSN's structure but don't do nearly
what I need.
