Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, I am looking for a simple isql/sqlplus-like command line interface for a DBI that can interact with DBD-ASAny-1.09. I am working with Netscout which wraps around Sybase but does not provide any direct access to the database except a lame java engine which doesn't even support DESCRIBE. I have a working perl script using DBI::DBD-ASAny-1.09 but was hoping I wouldn't have to write my own interpretor. Thanks, Daniel

    perl -MDBI::Shell -e shell dbi:driver:database user passwd
