I did build this sybperl lib with the freetds objects,
but (sent an earlier mail) am not sure what to do now!

I have a DBlib.pm lib, but cannot 'use' it without
perl complaining that it wants DBlib/autosplit.ix,
which would appear to me to be something I would
have had to have built/installed under DBlib.

Can you advise what to do to get something like "sample script"

           use Sybase::DBlib;

           $dbh = new Sybase::DBlib 'sa', $pwd, $server, 'test_app';
           $dbh->dbcmd("select * from sysprocesses\n");
           $dbh->dbsqlexec;
           $dbh->dbresults;
           while(@data = $dbh->dbnextrow)
           {
           .... do something with @data ....
           }

to execute with DBlib.pm (hand) copied into 
perl5/....../Sybase/

or am I miles off?

Subject: [freetds] RE: Version 0.45


I have an older version of DBD::Sybase compiling (0.13? I think), but it

needs some major work before it will be runnable.  Now that 0.45 is out
the 
door (and yes it should work much better), it is high on my priority
list.

ODBC/Perl is unlikely to run, as the ODBC stuff is very rough at the 
moment.  I'm no ODBC expert (not that it's all that hard, I just don't
have 
a use for it) and I was hoping if I roughed in enough to show how to
talk 
to the TDS layer and set up the iODBC stuff somebody would take it over.

But, that hasn't happened yet.

For version of Sybase::CTLib that will compile (I'll check on my home 
machine to see which version I'm running), ctlib should work to the
extent 
that it is implemented on the C side (which is the most commonly used 
functions).  But, your best bet is still dblib.
