You need an ODBC driver manager like iodbc, which comes with DBD::ODBC. You
compile DBD::ODBC with the manager without regard for which databases you 
might
use (apart from testing). Then you need an ODBC driver for FreeTDS (or Sybase
or MSSQL).

See, it doesn't know where (or what) your ODBC driver manager is! Once you've
got a driver manager working, run 'perl Makefile.PL -o /path/to/manager'.

Note that I haven't managed to get DBD::ODBC to talk to anything useful, and I
don't know where to get a driver from.
