I've never tried DBD::ODBC. I've used a lot of this:
Perl <-> DBI <-> DBD::Sybase <-> freetds <-> MS-SQL
The key is getting DBD::Sybase to install successfully. Set all the
environmental variables per the README, and it should work or tell
you what's wrong. Once you get DBD::Sybase working, you're done. :)
If DBD::Sybase won't install post the full dialogue here and or to
the dbi-users mailing list, and we should be able to figure it out.
HTH,
