I do this every day by installing the sybase drivers from sybase and DBD::Sybase. MSSQL is originally a offshoot of Sybase (4?) and still shared the basic protocol to this day. You will have to forgo CPAN's automated install and make the DBD part yourself since the 'make' part will fail if you don't manually add '-linsck' in the CONFIG file (and likely you should either tell it where the libs are in there too or restart after adding the SYBASE= environment variable to the default for the users who will compile/use sybase libs) Also the 'make test' part will fail if you don't put a fairly powerful user/password in the PWD file. Mail me if you need help.

Also, you can change your own password on here by clicking on your own name here: williamd and then picking Edit at the bottom of the page. If I've got it sussed correctly, clicking on Edit there should get you to the password change page as well.
