Microsoft has aligned itself with ODBC in the past and has reaffirmed that more recently. You can use any number of MS SQL Server ODBC drivers with DBD::ODBC.

You can also use DBD::Sybase I'm told.

Personally, I see little mileage in writing DBD::FreeTDS (I say that instead of DBD::MSSQLServer as that is the only open implementation of TDS I am aware of) but if someone was brave enough to try then all the best to them.
