I am running perl on Windows 2000 using IIS 5 and MS SQL 2000.

I am trying to connect to Microsoft SQL using DBD::Sybase and specifically do not want to use ODBC.

I have DBI succesfully installed along with several drivers. I have installed DBD::SYbase and there appears to be no errors on installation. However when I run my generic dbd driver check I get the following error: 

Driver: ExampleP
Driver: ODBC
Driver: Proxy
Driver: Sybase
Content-type: text/html 
Software error:
install_driver(Sybase) failed: Can't load 'E:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/S
+ybase/Sybase.dll' for module DBD::Sybase: load_file:The specified mod
+ule could not be found at E:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 206.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 3) line 3.

Sybase.dll does exist however and in the specified directory.

For anyone who wishes to see my dbd test code: 
my @drivers = DBI->available_drivers();

foreach my $driver (@drivers)
{
    print "Driver: $driver<br>";
    
    if ($driver ne "Proxy" && $driver ne "Multiplex" && $driver ne "Ex
+ampleP") ##DBD:Proxy and DBD::Multiplex have problem with datasources
    {
        my @datasources = DBI->data_sources($driver);
        foreach my $datasource (@datasources)
        {
            print "\tData Source is $datasource<br>";
        }
    }
    
    print "\n";
}

I appreciate any help
Thankyou
