Brian,

Thanks for clarifying.

I successfully compiled DBD::Sybase 0.91 with 0.53pre1, and ran
my test scripts without any problems. That means it would
probably do what I need it to do.

'make check' only had one failure:

t0004.c: Test large (>512 bytes) queries
tds_process_result_tokens() returned TDS_FAIL for long query
FAIL: t0004

I didn't touch etc/freetds.conf, and it looks to be using
the JDBC config (192.138.151.39).

Bill
