Thanks, Michael.
Turns out that $dbh->{syb_oc_version} does what I've been looking for for quite
some time.
For native Sybase libs I get:
Sybase Client-Library/12.5.1/P-EBF14755 ESD #19/DRV.12.5.1.9/Linux x86_64/Linux
2.4.21-47.0.1.ELsmp x86_64/BUILD1251-050/OPT/Mon Jun 25 01:02:06 2007
For FreeTDS I get this:
freetds v0.82 (threadsafe, default tds version=8.0)
Extremely helpful while trying to build DBD::Sybase or use different builds in
a script. Finally I have visibitlity into which drivers are in use.
