James,
Thank you very much!  I will dig into this now.  I figured I was missing
something from Sybase.so and that all documentation said that it was
supposed to work... I'll feed back whatever information I can so that
other's who run into this will find the solution as well.
regards,
jd wilson

Good.  :)

Please have a look at the following URL.  

http://webforums.sybase.com/nntp/nd000033.nsf/8178b1c14b1e9b6b8525624f0062fe

Whew.  That's a long one, eh?  I hope it's worth it.  (Tim Berners Lee
wrote a lovely essay about URLs, which is a good antidote: 
http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI)

I know for certain that FreeTDS exposes the variable in question:

$ pwd;nm libct.so.0.0 |grep cs_ctx_global
/usr/local/lib
00002ee0 T _cs_ctx_global

and that it works with DBD::Sybase (yea, even on Solaris).  I'm not being
defensive; I just want you to know this *will* work, once you get the
Solaris kinks out.  

HTH.
