Efficient scanning of SQL Server 2005 tables?

Hello,

Our local SQL Server/Windows/C++ guru told me that the standard way we scan
tables causes the server to practically copy the entire result set into a
temporary table on the server before feeding it to the client.

He found a way to avoid this in C++ by some clever direct ODBC hacks on
Windows which make the server practically stream the results to the client
without creating a temporary table.

Is there a way to achieve this with Perl on Linux too?

Thanks,
