[WindyCity-pm] installing the same module twice

[Jeremy Wall]

That sounds like a sticky requirement there. Maybe you could hack something
together with fancy @INC hacking but it sounds like you are trying to make
DBD::Sybase do something it really shouldn't be used for. Is there a FreeTDS
module out there you can use for the MSSQL db rather than trying to have two
different varieties sharing the same namespace?
