My Respect to all the Monks.
I am trying to connect Sybase 15Dev Edition to Perl v5.8.8. I have installed the DBI module from PPM.
Tried a simple sample program (The code is attached below) and I get the error enclosed in <Error> and </Error>:
<Error>
install_driver(Sybase) failed: Can't locate loadable object for module
+ DBD::Sybase in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/lib C:/OTRS/Perl/si
+te/lib C:/OTRS/Perl/l
ib .) at (eval 4) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 3.
Perhaps a module that DBD::Sybase requires hasn't been fully installed
 at P2.pl line 10

</Error>
Program Code:
-------------
#!C:/Perl/bin -w 
use lib 'C:/Perl/site/lib';
use MIME::Base64;
use DBI;

$user = "sa"; 
$password = "abc123";


$dbh = DBI->connect
("dbi:Sybase:server=PUNDTGYDNB1S",$user, $password) or die "Cannot Con
+nect";
$dbh->do("use pubs2");

my $SQL = "SELECT * FROM authors"; 
print "The query returns the following list of authors:\n";

while ($connection->FetchRow())
{
    ## Translate the row into something usable. In this case I am chan
+ging
    ## to a hash so I can use key names (CustomerID, CompanyName) rath
+er than
    ## integer values (0, 1). If I wanted to use integer values, I'd u
+se the 
    ## Data() method instead of the DataHash() method.
    my %dataRow = $connection->DataHash();

#    print $dataRow{CustomerID} . " : " . $dataRow{CompanyName} . "\n"
+;
    print $dataRow{au_id} . " : " . $dataRow{au_lname} . "\n";
}

## Closing the database connection
$connection->Close();

Kind Regards.
