You'll need some filename mangling. I'll try to take a look at what this
module needs and get a patch out.

There are ODBC clients available from OpenRDA, EasySoft, and Attunity (and
perhaps others I'm unaware of). All require some sort of middleware running
on the NT side. If you happen to have Sybase open client libraries kicking
around, you can actually connect to SQL Server using DBD::Sybase, though you
are skating on very thin ice because Sybase has long since ceased
development on VMS and Microsoft has guaranteed that the CT interface will
break after SQL Server 7.0.
