I'm assuming you mean Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. . . and as for Linux, I'll make no assumptions (but it doesn't really matter).

Given that, the following should be of some use to you:

• FreeTDS
• DBD::Sybase
• unixODBC

Linux, unlike Windoze, does not have a built-in ODBC manager. As such, you will need to install one of these packages to connect to SQL server. DBD::ODBC can take care of the rest (that is, unless you use DBD::Sybase. Why Sybase? Because MSSQL Server is derived from it).

For even more information, do a Perl Monks Super Search for SQL Server.

Next time, please be a little more descriptive ;)
