Does anybody know how (or if ?) you can use the Sybase DBI module to connect to and issue commands against a Sybase Repserver ?
If so how do you execute commands against the Repserver ?
I tried putting together a simple script :- 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use DBI;

my $server="MY_REPSERVER";
my $user="repserv_user";
my $pass="hello";

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Sybase:server=$server", $user, $pass,{
                                        PrintError => 0, # Don't print
+ warning messages
                                        RaiseError => 1 } );
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("Admin who_is_down");
$sth->execute;

When executing this script I get 
E. 2005/01/18 12:58:38. ERROR #14024 USER(repserv_user) - /execint.c(1
+222)
        Executor does not allow the entered command in the current mod
+e.

The script is just to demonstrate the problem
Any help appreciated
