Hi Monks, we are trying to connect to sqlserver 2008 from a perl script using DBD::Sybase. could you please help. This is a bit urgent... We got the below error when we try to run the script... Message String: ct_connect(): directory service layer: internal directory control layer error: Requested server name not found.

Below is the code: 


#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

use DBI;

use DBD::Sybase;
my $user="abc";
my $auth='defv';
my $srvr = 'abc.cde.corp.org\XYZ';
# Connect to the SQL Server Database
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Sybase:server=${srvr};database=TEST", $use
+r, $auth,{PrintError => 0,RaiseError => 1, ShowErrorStatement => 1,})
+;

my $sql = "SELECT USER";
my $sth = $dbh->prepare( $sql );
$sth->execute();

my @data;

if($sth->execute) {
   while ( @data = $sth->fetchrow ) {
        print "@data\n";
   }
}
$sth->finish();
undef $sth;
$dbh->disconnect();

Then we also tried the option of using unixODBC But still could not solve the issue as we got a different error...

Here is the error: DBI connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};Server=abc.cde.corp.org\XYZ;Database=TEST;UID=abc;PWD=defv','',...) failed: unixODBCDriver ManagerCan't open lib 'SQL Server' : file not found (SQL-01000)

below is the code: 


#!/usr/bin/perl -w


use strict;

use DBI;
use DBD::ODBC;

my $user = q/abc/;
my $password = 'defv';


my$dbh1 = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:DRIVER={SQL Server};Server=abc.cde.co
+rp.org\\XYZ;Database=TEST;UID=$user;PWD=$password");
