Thanks for the tips.  I got DBD::Sybase 0.91 and it seems to be more 
successful than 0.95.  I was able to get simple queries to work.

However I can't get placeholders to work.  DBI->stderr says I need to use TDS 
5.0.  But I specified tds version = 7.0 in freetds.conf.  I even tried 
tdsLevel=CS_TDS_50 in the dbi: connection string.  Any ideas?
