Well, as it turns out, I am jumping the gun. Going by some tutorials
here:
http://www.easysoft.com/developer/languages/perl/
dbd_odbc_tutorial_part_1.html
Having unixODBC installed is not enough, I also need an ODBC driver
to go with it. Running 'odbcinst -q -d' reveals I only have
[PostgreSQL] but apparently I also need something that can talk to an
MSSQL db.
I thought unixODBC came with all the necessary drivers? Can anyone
confirm this? Perhaps I need to install a different version? Thanks!

Hi Robert
While connecting to a MSsql database, do you need to pass the uid and
pwd in the $data_source string as well as in the parameter list for
the connect call? For example, are either of these correct:
Errr, what happens when you try both?
