Can you upgrade to a newer version of DBI ?
The latest one is 1.21, I believe.
The following code works on my Win2K PC (cygwin, PostgreSQL, DBI 1.201, ActivePerl 5.6.1) 
use DBD::ODBC;
use DBI;

my $p = {};
my $t_id = '20'; 

$p->{P_BATS}     = 'R';
$p->{P_THROWS}   = 'R';
$p->{P_STATUS}   = 'A';
$p->{P_PLAYERID} = 1;  


my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:ODBC:test', 'foo', 'bar', {RaiseError => 1
+});
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(qq/UPDATE players SET t_id=?, bats=?, throws=?
+, status=? WHERE id=?/);
$sth->execute($t_id, $p->{P_BATS}, $p->{P_THROWS}, $p->{P_STATUS}, $p-
+>{P_PLAYERID});

$sth = $dbh->prepare(qq/SELECT * FROM players/);
$sth->execute();
while (my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array()){
    print join(',', @row),"\n";
}

$dbh->disconnect();
