Michael, Actually, I have and I do understand the FreeTDS requirements for the module. I'm looking for some real world feed back from those who might be using it or have tried it. As you may have run into, certain cruicial points are often mentioned only as a "oh, by the way" in documention indexes or mailing lists :)

No. You need to build the FreeTDS libraries (A free reimplementation of the Sybase Open Client API - http://www.freetds.org), and then build DBD::Sybase against these libraries. I suggest that you amble over to the FreeTDS site and read their documentation. Michael -- Michael Peppler Data Migrations, Inc.
