in reply to Perl, DBD and SQL Server 2008 (R2)
From the messages, it sounds like you just need to configure your data sources. I've not used ODBC on a Unix box, so I don't know exactly how it's done. But this link ought to help you out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ODBC, and you can google for others.
Typically, in ODBC, you'll have a connect string something like: "dbi:ODBC:FOO", where FOO is an entry in a configuration table somewhere that describes a database connection. (The link I provided shows a sample for Ubuntu.) If you don't want to set one up, you can also use a connect string where you provide the connection information, something like "dbi:ODBC:driver={FreeTDS};server=localhost;database=Fred", where the driver chunk tells ODBC which particular database driver to use, and the rest of the string is a set of parameters for that driver telling it how to locate the database. So I'd look up the FreeTDS connection string information and either configure a DSN or create the connection string from scratch.
Update: Here's a link to the FreeTDS ODBC parameters: http://www.freetds.org/userguide/odbcconnattr.htm.
