Hmmm....

1. I don't see anything in your test script which shows the int problem.
2. I don't get the length problem when I run against the latest freetds.

$ TDSVER=42 ./test.pl
OUTPUT: 'hello' (length 5)
$ TDSVER=70 ./test.pl
OUTPUT: 'hello' (length 5)

Perl: 5.005_03
Linux: 2.2.14-5.0 (i386)
DBI: 1.14
DBD::Sybase: 0.23
freetds: extracted from CVS archives today
SQL Server: 7.00 - 7.00.842

Can you give us comparable information on your setup?
