After some tests is better to use DBD::ODBC

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:TESTSRV", 'test', 'test', {PrintError => 0})
or
die "Unable for connect to server $DBI::errstr";
$dbh->do("CREATE PROC #testsql \@s VARCHAR(512) OUTPUT AS SET \@s =
REPLICATE(\@s, 100) + 'a'");
my $sth = $dbh->prepare('{call #testsql(?)}');
my $s = 'hello';
$sth->bind_param_inout(1, \$s, 512);
$sth->execute;
print "len=".length($s)." s=$s\n";
