Yes, DBD::Sybase has finally been released at version 1.00 (which doesn't mean that it's complete or definitive, just that I think it's become quite stable...)

From the CHANGES file:

• Added data_sources().
• Allow "SQL_BINARY" placeholder parameters to be passed either as a hex string (with or without leading 0x), or as raw binary data.

Bugs Fixed:

• 477 - segfault when servermsg_cb is called with a null connection
• 480 - Makefile.PL searches system dirs before PERL5LIB dirs when looking for DBI installation.
• 485 - Incorrect handling of large varbinary columns on fetches.
• 489 - (same as 497, see below).
• 492 - Can't compile on Win2k.
• 494 - Do not try to use the ocs.cfg file if it exists.
• 495 - Incorrect handling of parameters when using placeholders & stored procs.
• 497 - implicit type conversions with prepared statements often fail
• 503 - Binary placeholders with stored procedures.
• 506 - Default scriptName/hostname connect() params.
• 508 - DBD::Sybase doesn't build under Win2k.

Note that this release builds with no problems with FreeTDS, although there are still tests that fail, and some missing functionality (placeholders, in particular).
