Here are a couple of ways to approach the problem:

1. Use DBI and connect both to your mdb data source and to your
PostgreSQL one. Loop through SELECT on the mdb and do INSERTs on
PostgreSQL.

2. DBI-Link, which is probably overkill for this.

Of course, there are other ways, but those are the two that came to
mind :)
