I don't know about Sybperl, but DBD::Sybase has a readme that indicates
that the tests don't work with FreeTDS, but the software will. I'm using
it in a couple dozen production servers, and the tests have never
passed.
Details here:
http://search.cpan.org/src/MEWP/DBD-Sybase-1.07/README.freetds
As long as the SYBASE environment variable is set correctly, DBD::Sybase
should just work.
