You'll want to use DBI and DBD::Sybase. DBI is Perl's generic interface to relational databases (Oracle, MySQL, Postgres, InterBase, Informix, ODBC, etc). The O'Reilly Cheetah [3] is a good investment if you want to get to know Perl/DBI better. //Ed [1] http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/DBI [2] http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/DBD::Sybase [3] http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perldbi/index.html
