I'm pretty sure recent versions come with gcc via mingw, though the  
home page at <http://strawberryperl.com/> is rather devoid of actual  
information about what's in it.  I would say try to get to a shell  
prompt, pretend it's not Windows, and see what blows up.  Apparently  
it comes with DBD::ODBC, so that may be another option if DBD::Sybase  
proves troublesome (but you'd still need FreeTDS's driver).
