I think it is done as usual, at least how it works for me (I use Sybase though):

    $sth = $dbh -> prepare (sprintf 'my_proc %s, %s', $dbh -> quote ($user),
                                                      $dbh -> quote ($pass));
    $sth -> execute;
    while ($aref = $sth -> fetchrow_arrayref)
    {
        # do something with results (if there are any)
    }

Have you looked into DBD::Sybase and FreeTDS if you're accessing MS SQL from UNIX?
