    Unfortunately Screamer it's a bit more complicated than that. *nix systems do not have a native way to speak TDS (without help from FreeTDS), this is the protocol for Sybase and MS SQLServer. The DBD::Sybase module will talk to older versions of MS SQLServer but more recent versions have deviated from the DBD::Sybase module's version of TDS.

    But anyways, this question has been answered as a Q&A and also here.

    yes, I have connected using DBI from active state, using a DSN that I set up through windows.
      Then I am not sure as to what your question is. If you know how to and successfully have connected to the database - what is the "help getting environment set up" you need?
