Three choices occur to me:

  1. DBD::ODBC
  2. DBD::ADO
  3. DBD::Sybase

The first choice is the slowest, but it's convenient if you need to switch the database again. Just be sure to pore through your current code and find anything that is MySQL dependant.

As for the last choice, I understand that it works with MS SQL Server, but I have never actually used it.

Cheers,
Ovid

Update: It occurs to me that you might be using a *nix platform and have to connect to the database on the Win* platform. In that case, you can use DBD::Proxy.
