OK, with sqsh-1.7, my query is now returning great info.  timestamp field
came through OK, and the floats are correct.

DBD::Sybase doesn't like the floats though. Everything else including the
timestamp came through, but I'm not so sure where the problem is, if it's
still in the ctlib stuff, or really in DBD::Sybase.

Note the portion of the trace:

    <- FETCH= [ 'id' 'name' 'guarantor' 'taxrate' 'taxrate2' 'date'
'active' 'taxid' 'staffnum' 'timestamp' 'attn' 'addr1' 'addr2' '
[...]
    -> FETCH for DBD::Sybase::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x8145e7c)~INNER 'NAME')
    -> FETCH for DBD::Sybase::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x8145e7c)~INNER 
'NULLABLE')
    <- FETCH= [ '' 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ] at x.pl line 44.
    -> fetchrow for DBD::Sybase::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x8057890)~0x8145e7c)
    <- fetchrow= ( 10196 'Jaye Mathisen' 0 0 0 'Feb 05 1998 12:00AM' 'Y'
[stuff deleted]

In the row data, the three fields after "Jaye Mathisen" has 0 0 0.

The first 0 is an int field, and it's correct.  But the next 2 fields are
both floats.  I am unsure if the 0 there as opposed to 0.0 or somesuch is
related to the problem.

I'm using DBI-1.13, with DBD::Sybase-0.19...  I think if I had my floats
in DBD::Sybase, I'd be off to the races. :)
