I've been trying to get freetds to work with DBD::Sybase but I've been
failing.  The DBD's "make test" fails and it cores.  The problem with make
test is that it's not picking up the ip address and doing a lookup on null
:

#1  0xff0e9fb8 in tds_connect (login=0x10dc10) at login.c:153
153             sin.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(config->ip_addr);
(gdb) print *config
$1 = {server_name = 0x1859a0 "BACKUP", host = 0x0, 
  ip_addr = 0x0, port = 4000, minor_version = 0, major_version = 5, 
  block_size = 512, language = 0x1cb188 "us_english", 
  char_set = 0x1c4f90 "iso_1", database = 0x0, dump_file = 0x0, 
  broken_dates = 0, timeout = 0, connect_timeout = 0}

I've modified the config.c file to print out some info, and when I just
run one of the test scripts, It seems as if it's able to find the
.interface file with the proper information.. however, setting DBD/DBI
into debug mode, it just looks like it's confused :

The lines that start with * are debugging lines I added to the config.c
file.  I'm using DBI version 1.15 and DBD version 0.91 with the "current"
version of the freetds from the website.  I'm just confused as to what the
problem could be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
