hi! I've been setting Linux perl MSSQL 7 connectivity for the last few days. I've tried several versions of both FreeTDS and DBD:Sybase (the newest were 0.52 and 0.93). The only combination that worked for me was FreeTDS 0.51 + DBD:Sybase 0.91. My system is Red Hat 7 on the server machine and MS SQL 7 running on a Windows NT box. Hope this helps! Kike
