in reply to DBD::Sybase error

Have you tried installing the module via apt? 
sudo apt-get install libdbd-sybase-perl -y

[download]

I would try that first. I've seen some weird instances where cpan doesn't link everything up correctly. I try to use as many apt controlled perl packages as possible to eliminate this frustration

    Thank you for your suggestion on installing the module via apt-get; the module was indeed installed after I added the '--force-yes' flag

    Yet, I now have a different error that seems to me like some kind of conflict:

    root@server:# ./check_mssql_health --hostname <MSSQL_Server_IP> --user
+name <MSSQL_user> --password <MSSQL_pass> --mode connection-time
CRITICAL - cannot connect to <MSSQL_Server_IP>. install_driver(Sybase)

      I suppose it's possible that the version under apt is 1.14 and the version that cpan partially installed was 1.15. What I would do is remove the package from cpan and apt and try reinstalling just the apt version.

      After that try

      sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install libdbd-sybase-perl -y

      Basically try to clean up some of the mess.
