dbashyam:

It sounds like either:

• You may be running a different perl than the default system perl (which is a good idea), and that perl doesn't have DBD::Sybase installed. If this is the case, then you need to install DBD::Sybase for the perl you're using.
• You may have a slightly different setup than the root account does for perl. For example, I use the PERL5LIB environment variable to tell perl where to look for my personal libraries. Perhaps the root account is doing something like that to locate the DBD::Sybase package.
• You may be using the same perl and the same include path, but you may be missing permission to access some directory or directories.

I'd start by checking perl --version in your account and the root account to see if they're the same or not. Then I'd try perl -e 'print join("\n",@INC)' on both accounts to see if there are any differences. Finally, I'd check the directory permissions on the path to .../DBD/Sybase.pm to see if you have permissions to access it.
