It's my understanding that the DBD::FreeTDS driver depends on the FreeTDS
libraries being present. It's a perl interface to these libraries, not a
replacement for them. With either DBD::Sybase or DBD::FreeTDS, you still need
a C library implementation of TDS for your system, whether that's Sybase or
FreeTDS.
