I had some extra time at work so i thought I'd try and get TDS working
again.  I have been lurking on the list since my attempt a few months
back...I think I am doing a bit better now.

I have the latest version of FreeTDS(--with-tdsver=4.2) installed.  I have
installed the Perl DBI and I have DBD:Sybase installed.  This is a Redhat
machine and I am attempting to connect to MsSQL 7.0 on NT.

Here is my interfaces file:

SQLDATA
        query tcp ether the.machine.ip.address 5001


here is the perl script I am trying to use to test it:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use DBI;
use DBD::Sybase;

$user="mjn";
$passwd="welcome";

DBI->connect('SQLDATA', $user, $passwd);


Here is the error I am getting:

Can't connect(SQLDATA mjn welcome), no database driver specified and
DBI_DSN env var not set at /home/mjn/perl/dbtest.pl line 10


Ideas?  From the error, it seems that this is a simple fix but i have been
unable to find anything in the archives refering to DBI_DSN...that or I
have whackey syntax...
