Michael has confirmed that DBD::ODBC 1.24_6 fixes the problem he saw
with SQL Server XMLType columns.
1.24_6 defaults binding of XMLType parameters as SQL_WCHAR on Unicode
enabled DBD::ODBCs now and the length() issue (which turned out to be an
error in DBD::ODBC ignoring magic) is also fixed for unicode strings.
There may be other magic issues which I cannot confirm as yet as I've
not had a chance to work through the code to examine all instances of
changing a scalar DBD::ODBC did not create. Thanks to Perl Monks for
identifying the length() problem and to Tim for pointing me at other
areas where it could be a problem.

DBD::ODBC 1.24_5 uploaded to CPAN now but your mirror might take
longer for you to see.
Not there yet.
I would not get too excited as I did not try the native client yet
and don't have it at home so it will have to wait until tomorrow.
Comes free with SS 2008 Express. Which is what I have at home. :-)
It might be less bother for you to wait until I've tried native client
(tomorrow hopefully).
Hehe. Just noticing the CPAN mirror picker dropdown menu features broken
Unicode for places in Finland, France, Germany etc.
