Yes.

You can use "freetds" with specific versions of SQL server at
least. You'll need to set up freetds first, and then compile
the perl DBD type libraries to link against it.

It's not the best software on earth, by the way - do some
extensive testing to ensure it's not giving you bogus results;
I've had problems with, for example, very very large numbers
being fed back wrong.
