Really?  How much have you tested it?  The reason I'm surprised is that the
sybperl tests fail on the following:

        - a failed query: "select count(*) from systypes where"
                - My trivial debugging leads me to beleive this is because
dbsqlexec returns true rather than reading the response packet and queueing
it
        - Message handlers
                - no debugging yet, but it simply isn't called in the test
        - dbpoll
                - returns succeed, doesn't set reason.

I would say the first two are critical pieces.  As I noted before, I tried
using sybperl anyhow, but to no avail - the sql function doesn't work,
although the separate calls do - I haven't quite tracked that one down yet.

Anyhow, all this isn't to be critical, I'd love to use this when it's
working, and am stuck with using DBD::ODBC in the meantime. I just don't
think it's fair to say it works great, when it's got a few things that are
undone, and doesn't pass what are some pretty straightforward tests...
