you would have to rebuild or re-install sybperl, and make sure that when you
do so, that it picks up the freetds libraries instead of Sybase's. In our
user guide we show how that can be done to build DBD::Sybase (another Sybase
module for perl). I daresay there will be something similar for sybperl.
