Well I tried to take the next step of installing iODBC and DBD::ODBC, but 
again with limited success.  Maybe it's not the product, but the 
documentation I'm having problems with.

Anyway, I was able to recompile/install freeTDS with the --use-iodbc option 
and then compile/install iODBC.  I also setup a ~/.odbc.ini file as such:

--------- 8< ----- CUT HERE ----- 8< ---------
[ODBC Data Sources]
PSSDB = PSSDB

[PSSDB]
Driver = /usr/local/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so
Host = csphl003
ReadOnly = yes
TraceFile = /tmp/odbc.trace
Trace = 1

[Default]
Driver = /usr/local/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so
--------- 8< ----- CUT HERE ----- 8< ---------

When I get to DBD::ODBC, I do exactly as stated in README/INSTALL.  This time 
it correctly recognizes iODBC and not unixODBC like before.  This must be an 
error with SuSE's out-of-box installation of iODBC; since I did a re-install 
it magically worked.  But, when I run 'make test', I get a ton of
DIED. FAILED. tests:
