Unfortunately Screamer it's a bit more complicated than that. *nix systems do not have a native way to speak TDS (without help from FreeTDS), this is the protocol for Sybase and MS SQLServer. The DBD::Sybase module will talk to older versions of MS SQLServer but more recent versions have deviated from the DBD::Sybase module's version of TDS.

But anyways, this question has been answered as a Q&A and also here.
