DBD::FreeTDS does not depend on the FreeTDS libraries. It is minimally
functional but it is considered alpha software and is not being actively
developed.


I have used it on FreeBSD and it works for simple queries, haven't done
anything complex with it

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.
