Not my choice. We're using Radiator for authentication and it requires
the DBI to use an SQL server as a data source.
Your question got me to looking deeper into the problem and somewhere in
the Radiator FAQ I found that one can use DBD::Sybase to connect to an
MSSql database.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
