[Za-pm] perl -> MS SQLserver

[Spike]

All working fine!

M$ SQL is a pain but I now have a perl script on my LINUX box that queries 
a MS SQLservr 2000 database onon an NT box.

I am useing the Sybase::DBD module which happily talks to MS via the TDS 
protocol with no ODBC cluients in the way to complicate and slow things down.

Hell - I think I shall have the rest of the day off

Thanks Oscar for the pointer to freetds.org
