Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but, alas, it still doesn't work. My script will come to a screeching halt when it runs into the "use DBD::Sybase;" line, saying

Can't locate loadable object for module DBD::Sybase in @INC (@INC contains: C:\Program Files\ActiveState Komodo 2.5 C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at K:\Lori-Kdrive\Perl\example1-hello.pl line 3

:-(
