You can install one of the copies in its own directory, by using
        perl Makefile.PL LIB=/some/other/dir

Then in the perl script you'll have to say:

use lib '/some/other/dir/lib';
use lib '/som/other/dir/arch';

where "arch" is your system architecture (i386-linux, in my case)

However, you will NOT be able to use both copies of DBD::Sybase in the same
script due to name space clashes.
