in thread DBD::Sybase make problem

OK. Sybase.so is missing in my $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Why do you say that, Sybase.so is not supposed to be in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH Now, I copied that library found from /tmp/DBD-Sybase-1.10/blib/arch/auto/DBD/Sybase/ to /usr/local/freetds/lib and set all the dependency libraries in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and all those libraries have execute permissions by all.

Didn't need to do that, weird thing to do :/

You didn't address the problem why $DBI::errstr is not printing in the script.

It doesn't matter, you need to resolve

    Hmmm,
    I deleted the Sybase.so from freetds/lib and added /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Sybase to LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    But, I think the problem is clear now.
    I am getting the $dbh value when running the script on console with the respective ENVs set.
    I also set the same ENVs to the same values that I set on console but unable to execute this script.
    Am I missing anything here?

      Well, you didn't need to do that either. The error message comes from Sybase.so trying to load libct.so.4 which is trying to load something else ....

      Am I missing anything here?

      Can't say , what is the new error message?

        As I said earlier I'm unable to print $DBI::errstr on browser. Please address my question:
        "But, I think the problem is clear now. I am getting the $dbh value when running the script on console with the respective ENVs set. I also set the same ENVs to the same values that I set on console but unable to execute this script."
