No the DBD::Sybase library wasn't source compiled, at least by downloading it 
specifically then compiling it.  I assume (since I'm inheriting the 
environment) that it was installed using CPAN, which would have auto-compiled 
it.  Is there a way to check how it was compiled, or would it be wise to 
remove the perl module then re-install it?

Did you compile DBD::Sybase with the freetds libraries?  Make sure you set 
$SYBASE to the freetds install location and wouldn't hurt to set 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well to the freetds lib directory and then build 
DBD::Sybase.
