Hi,
I am wondering how I maintain the DBD::Sybase module if I already have a
stable working copy of DBD::Sybase. I currently use this on the Solaris
platform to successfully connect to Sybase.
It is my understanding from reading the docs, that I need to recompile the
DBD::Sybase using the Freetds libraries. So, how can I maintain 2 DBD::Sybase modules? An assumption that should be
made is that I would never need to access an SQL Server and Sybase at the
same time.

I would install one of the builds (e.g. the freetds one) into a different directory (using perl Makefile.PL LIB=...). Then in the scripts where this module (freetds) is needed, use a "use lib ..." statement to pull in that version rather than the Open Client version.
