Try DBD-Sybase.

DBD-FreeTDS contains a completely separate implementation of TDS and
doesn't use the FreeTDS library.  (It's also not currently being 
maintained.)

The freeTDS ODBC support is pretty much worthless at this point.  
Someone (John Pounder?) is working on a good version which will be
included at some point.

I'm not familiar with why DBD-SybPerl doesn't work, but I believe
that module is primarily for backwards compatability with SybPerl.
DBD-Sybase is the modern replacement, and is a pretty nice little
package.  Versions 0.19 and 0.20 are known to work with FreeTDS
within it's limitations.

Hope that helps,

Mark
