Mark, Looks like DBI modules on CPAN for SQL Server are relying on DBD-ODBC module at least for the connection. Not sure, but you may not be able to avoid DBD-ODBC installation.

Any geographic information related to binaries/source locations/installations would be helpful. Also, I've read about Jeff Urlwin's DBD-ODBC but was unable to install to windows using the cpan module for some reason. And the activestate repository version is quite deprecated. I was wondering if there were alternative sources for this, unless there's reason not to pursue it.. TIA Mark
