No. But it's good that someone should try to get it running under emulation; This could help coax SQL-Server devotees over to FreeBSD. > > Secondly, Perl is not machine-specific. > No, but Sybase's extensions to Perl need access to binary libraries which are machine specific. Give Sybase a try under Linux emulation if possible, I'd be very interested in hearing your results and will try to offer a hand in case of difficulties.
