That sounds like Sybase::CTlib is not yet installed for perl 5.8.

Update: The names of the functions might change, but I wouldn't expect it outside a major version change. The default exports might change, though. I don't use Sybase, can't advise on that. Try checking all your db calls for errors. The messages may clarify the problem, and that is an excellent improvement for your rewrite.
