What this means is that the SYBASE env. variable points to the wrong
directory when running the CGI script. This directory most likely has
older Sybase OpenClient libraries, hence the invalid context error.

hi,
I should add that i am running this as a cgi-bin script. And that i get the
error whether or not I include a print header() statement.
Also, I do not get the error if I run the script from the command line with the print header() statement.

True, but _very_ unlikely to be relevant to this problem.

You need the module, but you should not load it explicitly. DBI will take

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.

but when i attempt to run this stub script:

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.
