You need the module, but you should not load it explicitly. DBI will
take care of loading and initialising the module.

Hi,
Hmmm. I thought I needed it. So are you saying that i can do all my SQL
statments (just basic inserts, updates and selects) without he DBD module? I
guess then I'm unclear on when I would need it.

I get this error:
The context allocation routine failed. The following problem caused
the failure: Invalid context version. Content-Type: text/html;

I don't get the error it if I comment out the DBD::Sybase statement
Any help is much appreciated.
Why do you want to 'use DBD::Sybase' given that the working example shows that
it is not necessary to do so?
If you were importing some specific symbols from DBD::Sybase, it would make
sense - but you aren't self-evidently doing that, so it doesn't make much sense.
