It's PWD=, not PW=, also PORT is useless in this case. Use either PORT
or instance!

You used a odbc.ini-less configuration so these informations are not
used.

not used, use port or instance.

Having these lines you can use

my $dsn ="DRIVER=FreeTDS;SERVER=$host;PORT=4433;DATABASE=DataBase;UID=
$usr;PWD=$pw;TDS_Version=8.0";

You could even try post 0.82 patches (see
http://freetds.sourceforge.net/) which add support for NTLM2 or a
snapshot version.
