in reply to Sybase 15.0 & Perl 5.8

I didn't read the older thread, but AFAIK under windows, you can use DBD::ODBC as a workaround by creating an ODBC datasource with odbcad32.exe, and then use that in your perl/DBI code.

You can keep the both the 12.5 and 15.0 client libraries on your machine and install the DBD::Sybase ppm with SYBASE and SYBASE_OCS env vars pointed to the 12.5 libraries. Maybe you have to edit the PPD file. Then you also need to set $ENV{SYBASE} and $ENV{SYBASE_OCS} to the 12.5 directories in each perlscript in a BEGIN block. This is explained in the DBD::Sybase documentation.

Don't remember, but I have both on my machine, and DBD::Sybase 1.07_1 installed.

didn't try this: using the old dll name, you can create symbolic links to the new dll files. works also on NTFS)

    Thanks for the reply knbknb.

    I am on a Windows 2003 environment, ActivePerl 5.8.8.816, Sybase 15.0.2.

    I currently have DBD-Sybase 1.07_1 installed. I tried to get 1.08 on there but I am running into a lot of problems during the make process. I receive "Don't know how to make d:\perl\libConfig.pm". I looked at this as an issue in the make file code and went in to add a "\" to the path so that it could find the file properly. Now it returns the same error but with only, "Config.pm"

    Originally, our system was a same Windows 2003 but Sybase 12.5. We installed Perl on the new server and I proceeded to just execute the .pl script we have setup. That returns an error:

    "The procedure entry point PL_memory_wrap would not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll.

    So as you can see. Several issues going on here and I'm not quite sure where to start.
