What data type is the SID column ?. I suspect it is binary, it only looks like hex in your Management client. This small demo program shows two option, use convert in your SQL statement or unpack the fetched value.

use strict;
use DBI;
my $dbh = mssql(); # connect

# temp test table setup
my $t = '#bintest';
$dbh ->do("CREATE TABLE $t
         (bin1 varbinary(max))");  

my $hex_in = '0x151552dabe9d1ce4e8dd6b635f23d4c0';
$dbh->do("INSERT INTO $t (bin1) 
          VALUES ( CONVERT(varbinary(max), ?, 1) )",undef,$hex_in);
#          

my ($bin_out) = $dbh->selectrow_array(
  "SELECT bin1 FROM $t");

# style 1 adds 0x
my ($hex_out) = $dbh->selectrow_array(
  "SELECT CONVERT(varchar(max),bin1,1) 
   FROM $t");

print "hex input  = $hex_in\n";
print "bin out    = $bin_out\n";
print 'hex output = 0x',unpack('H*',$bin_out),"\n"; 
print "hex output = $hex_out\n";
