I'm working on an i18n project, and we use Sybase (sigh).
Newer versions of Sybase have built-in support for Unicode with the
univarchar (and other uni*) type.
However, it seems like DBD::Sybase doesn't have any support for this.
Specifically, if I take a Perl unicode string (utf8 flag is

Are you setting the connection charset to utf8 (in the connect() call?)
