The typeinfo() call (in Sybase.pm) is coded to use sp_datatype_info to 
accomodate varying datatype definitions that started showing up in 12.5 
(wider varchar columns, etc).

That's why the 0.95 version works fine (datatypes are hard-coded) - as 
sp_datatype_info obviously won't work when talking to a rep server.

What does your script do?
I've used DBD::Sybase with rep server a lot, and I haven't had this 
problem...
