Just a guess, but perhaps your shared libraries are not being found? 
Try:

ldd
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Sybase/Sybase.so

which may show that it cannot either resolve libct.so or libtds.so.  In
that case, all you need to do is be sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable includes the /usr/local/freetds/lib directory or
wherever your freetds .so's live.  An alternative is to compile a
runtime path into the application.  This is typically done on Solaris by
suppling a -R/usr/local/freetds/lib during the link command (with the
SunPro compiler) or -Wl,-R,/usr/local/freetds/lib with gcc as the
linker.

Hope this helps,
