In short: don't.
In long: there is no reason to use Sybperl:
- it duplicates the Perl setup and libraries (making installing a new Perl
module a pain),
- it does not have a standard API, meaning that you'll have to rewrite
everything if you switch to another DBMS, like PostgreSQL.
Use DBI and forget Sybperl. (I query a Sybase database from my Debian machine.)
