I created a table TAB1 with column A, where A is varchar 400 
 $query  = " select A from TAB1 ";

  my($DB) = Sybase::DBlib->dblogin( $User, $Password, $Server);
  $DB->dbuse( database );
  $DB->dbcmd($query);
  $DB->dbsqlexec;
  $DB->dbresults;
  
  while ( %dbdata = $DB->dbnextrow(1) )
  {
    foreach ( sort keys %dbdata )
    {
        my $CurColumn = $_;
        print $CurColumn;
                my $tempname = $dbdata{$CurColumn};
                print "[$tempname]\n";
    }
}
