QUESTION 1

I am trying to install DBD::Sybase.  I got FreeTDS running and can do
queries with it from the command line, so I know that's working fine.
But now I want to do queries from Perl. So I am trying to install the
DBD::Sybase module.  perl Makefile.pl works fine, but running make
doesn't work.  I am running OSX and I am having basically the same
problem the guys are here:

I get this output:

QUESTION 2

So that's option #1, fix the Sybase module and get it to install. 
Option #2 is to use DBD::ODBC.  I got that to install and perl seems to 
recognize that the module exists.  Only, when I try to connect to the 
database it tell me that it needs a driver, like this:

rwitmers-macbook-pro-15:Documents rwitmer$ perl testFreetds.pl
Unable for connect to server [iODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not
found and no default driver specified. Driver could not be loaded
(SQL-IM002) at testFreetds.pl line 20.

What kind of driver is it looking for and where do I find it?

The readme says to define these:

    DBI_DSN   The dbi data source, e.g. 'dbi:ODBC:YOUR_DSN_HERE'
    DBI_USER  The username to use to connect to the database
    DBI_PASS  The username to use to connect to the database
    ODBCHOME  (Unix only) The dir your driver manager is installed in
              or specify this via -o argument to Makefile.PL

I don't have ODBCHOME defined because I have no idea what a driver
manager is, or whether I have it.

What is your advice on solving either of these two problems?

Thanks!
