Thanks Rob! Well I just want to get Sybase(15, Dev Edition on Windows) talk to Perl 5.6.Is there a simple method to do this?
I could make MSSQL Server talk to Perl using Win32::ODBC and the best part is no username/password was required due to Windows Authentication Mode and that can get me going. But this is a prototype and later planting in production means its Sybase 12.5 on Unix. Somehow for Developemnt purposes, need, Sybase15 talk to Perl 5.6
I need a complete sample program.
Here is the one I used for MSSQLServer:
use Win32::ODBC;

my $DSN = "MSSQLpubsDSN";

my $connection = new Win32::ODBC($DSN);

## Check to make sure the connection is valid
if (!$connection)
{
    die "Could not open connection to DSN because of [$!]";
}

my $SQL = "SELECT * FROM authors";
if($connection->Sql($SQL))
{
    print "I could not execute the following statement:\n $SQL\n";
    print "I encountered this error:\n";
    print $connection->Error() . "\n";
    ## Closing the database connection
    $connection->Close();
    ## Exiting the program
    die;
}

print "The query returns the following list of authors:\n";

while ($connection->FetchRow())
{
    my %dataRow = $connection->DataHash();
    print $dataRow{au_id} . " : " . $dataRow{au_lname} . "\n";
}

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