Setting the trace has helped I believe

I see this which only appears when the encryptPassword is set on 

 -> DBI->connect(dbi:Sybase:server=MY_REPSERVER;encryptPassword=1, rep
+serv_user, ****)
    !! ERROR: 2056 CLEARED by call to connect method

That 2056 error (which is a Sybase syntax error) does not appear when encryptPassword is not set.

So it looks like a possible bug in DBD::Sybase ?

I'm not sure if that module is maintained anymore
