We are installing Perl 5.14.2 to support our current Windows XP environment and to support our future move to Windows 7. Our team uses sybase databases and requires access via Perl for reports. Our last Perl install was version 5.6. so this move to 5.14.2 is a big jump for us. We can not seem to find a DBD-Sybase ppd for versions beyond 5.6. Is there one? I am somewhat new to Perl development and don't understand much about the inner workings of Perl modules or how they are created. I have found a CPAN site that indicates that there are no binary builds available because of errors during the build process. Can that be corrected so that there CAN be a valid build for Windows? Thanks so much for your help.

We are currently using the Perl 5.6 version of DBD::Sybase to access our Sybase databases. Can that set of modules be used with 5.14.2? What would need to be changed in 5.14.2 to use the 5.6 modules? Thanks again.
