The stored procedure isn't valid in ms sql 2000, because of this line: 
where cust_name=@name

Perhaps you intended this? 
select @cust_id = cust_id from x where cust_name=@name

I tested the perl and SQL you posted with the above modification and experienced the same problem when run from Windows XP using perl 5.8.8, dbd::odbc 1.13. I do not experience this problem on openbsd using perl 5.8.4, dbd::odbc 1.13, and iodbc.

Looking into it further the issue is this line: 

$dbh->{odbc_SQL_ROWSET_SIZE} = 2;

With that line I get the error, without it I don't. Please review DBD::ODBC and check if this option is what you want.

By the way - when testing for the non-existence of a record in sql server you should check 'IS NULL', not compare to an empty string. Like this: 

if(@cust_id IS NULL)
