Thanks and sorry Bill, I should have been more clear.
The existing perl scripts used sybase::ctlib to talk to sybase. As the
databases are migrated to SQL Server, I was suggested to use freetds to talk
to sql server databases.
I have the freetds working(i can connect to sql server with tsql), but just
wondering whether i need to install the sybase::ctlib on my new server
inorder to make my perl scripts work as they were working on sybase.
