I'm currently using FreeTDS with DBD::Sybase to connect to an MS-SQL server (don't know or care what version). I had some problems getting DBD::Sybase working initially. First I had to do some massaging to get it to compile (something related to perl internals; I don't recall details). Once compiled it gave "can't assign requested address" or something trying to connect to the database (it was looking for the "interfaces" config file in the wrong location (thank the gods for ktrace)). It's working fine for me now. However, I've noticed some superfluous \0 bytes in database responses that need to be filtered out. Nuking \0 is a good idea anyway (see Phrack #55).
