Solaris' ld.so only checks LD_LIBRARY_PATH when the script itself first
runs.  What's happening is the DBD::Sybase module is compiled against
FreeTDS but Solaris' ld.so is finding Sybase OpenClient.

The best (although hackish) solution would be to do something like:

if ($ENV{'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'} neq
'/export/opt3/freetds/lib:/export/opt3/freetds/bin') {
        $ENV{'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'} =
'/export/opt3/freetds/lib:/export/opt3/freetds/bin';
        exec("/path/to/script/scriptname", $0, @ARGV);
}

Although you really shouldn't need freetds/bin in LD_LIBRARY_PATH :).
