I notice in the 0.52 release notes that unixODBC (not just iODBC) is
mentioned as a working option (for the first time as far as I can tell).  Is
this now a known-to-work option?

I have a semi-production application which uses Pentium III + Red Hat 7.0 +
Perl 5.6.0 + DBD::Sybase 0.91 + FreeTDS 0.52pre0.9WithAFewPersonalHacks
daily with good results accessing MS SQL Server 2000.  It gets used every
day although not yet "intensively" with no reliability problems, although
there are a few workarounds I make and a few features I'd like.

Feel free to ask me specific questions.

Eric
