The OCS directory should be pointed to by
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS; it's not clear from the text that
this is actually happening. Verification can be done
using isql, which separates that issue from perl
programming issues.
The environment can be checked at runtime in the perl
script in one of two ways:
1. Use the debugger to look at %ENV
2. Put this line of code in the script:
print ($_,$ENV{$_}) foreach (keys %ENV);
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that the open
client libraries are dynamically linked and therefore
simply adjusting the sybase variables to point to the
correct directories suffices. So you don't have to
re-install whenever a sybase upgrade is done.
