I use perl-5.005_03 on FreeBSD box. But I was wrong when I say that it 
need to perl upgrade. I must do it to use DBI later 1.34

$dbh = DBI->connect(DBI:Sybase:dbhost, user, pass, {RaiseErro=>1,

connect() is OK. Then I kill this connection on server side and do() 
method does not throught exception.
