Normally the ODBC-drivers for Sybase can be obtained through the vendor.

Third party ODBC-drivers for Sybase seem indeed only to exist for Unix-y kind of systems.

And if you want to install the DBD::Sybase module, you probably will need a full install of Sybase as this module needs some compilation (I assume against the Sybase client -- didn't try it though for lack of Sybase on my system). What errors did you get when installing DBD::Sybase?

Update: As a last resource you could try to have Perl interface with the JDBC driver for Sybase through JDBC or DBD::JDBC.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
