Hi,

I am having problems getting DBD::Sybase version 0.91 working with perl 5.61 build 630 on Windows 2000. The error is below and looks to be an envirmoment issue - but I am using the code also given below, to ensure that $SYBASE is set correctly.

CODE:
use strict;
use DBI;

BEGIN {
   $ENV{SYBASE}='c:\sybase'
}

print "$ENV{SYBASE}\n";
my $dbh=DBI->connect('DBI:Sybase:server:FOOBAR','foo','bar');
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper($dbh);

exit(0);

I was wondering if anyone else is using this successfully - or knows of any issues before I go down the dark path of manually compiling DBD::Sybase
game(Wookie,opponent) eq 'Wookie' ? undef $problem : remove_limbs(arms,opponent);
