in thread Perl in the database?

Are you planning on putting this on CPAN?

I don't know yet - it depends on whether this actually works the way I hope it will.
And you have to have the Open Server libraries, which most people won't have as they are not included in the default package from Sybase.

    I would love an XP Server library running Perl!

    You could set up a sourceforge project for this, I think you'll find lots of help.

    If you use XP Server and a shared lib, you have everything you need, you don't need any additional libraries.

    I entered this thread a little late, but hopefully it is still active.

    Have you used the FreeTDS libraries? Will they provide the functionality you need? According to the FAQ on freetds.org, libtdssrv may provide some server capabilities.

    Of course, not being an Open Server programmer, I can't really evaluate whether it would be possible or not. It would sure be nice if FreeTDS developed to the point where a full Open Client/Open Server implementation were possible.

      I'm not going to use FreeTDS initially. They are doing a great job, but FreeTDS is still too limited in scope to be used as the basis for such a tool (at least for me).
