Yes. I believe DBD::Sybase is the better way to go. Sybase::DBLib is based on the older version of the Sybase client library (DBLib) -- older as in DBLib is from the 80's and the newer CTLib is from the 90's. There's always rumblings that Sybase is going to discontinue DBLib (but that never appears to actually occur).

You can decide for yourself which c-based lib you want to use by checking out the faq. Your choice of which c-based lib you want to use will influence which perl modules you want/need to use.

That all being said, DBD::Sybase is the more active module (it's been a few years since Sybase::DBLib has been updated). As with all things perl/sybase, if mpeppler chimes in, takes his advice -- he's the maintainer of most (all?) things sybase/perl. (Also, if jfroebe chimes in, take his advice too -- he's very deeply involved with sybase).
