Hi, PHP4 has recently got a php4-sybase module, so is ther a chance a perl counterpart dbd-sybase package in sid/woody? This driver would also enable access to MS SQL Servers, I guess. The answer to the question "Can I access my M$ server with Perl?" could be turned from plain "no" to a "Should work, but you have to try it with your version of sqlserver." for debian.
