I started the installation of DBD::Sybase with the download provided on CPAN and when I run perl Makefile.PL it tells me "Unknown Client Library version - assuming FreeTDS." so basically he's not finding the open client library. On his README Michael Peppler tells before starting to install:

thats worded in a rather unix-y way.   If there is a sybase.bat file, 
just execute it from the 'dos' window that you're doing the builds in. 
before starting the make process.

or, what that first part is saying is...

SET SYBASE=C:\OCS-12_0

(assuming thats where your ocs-12_0 folder is... adjust to suit)
