I am directed (by CPAN) to install DBD::Sybase. CPAN says (after trying to install): `Pleae set SYBASE in CONFIG or set the $SYBASE environment variable at +Makefile.PL line 120, <IN> line44` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Usually, `$ENV{SYBASE}` is set to the directory where your Sybase client libraries are installed. Maybe you can set $ENV{SYBASE} to that directory?	[reply] [d/l]

G'day fionbarr, "Can anyone suggest how I should format a connect string for DBI?" For a general answer, see the connect() method in the DBI documentation. For Sybase specifics, see "Connecting to Sybase" in the DBD::Sybase documentation. -- Ken	[reply]
