You need to use the Sybase::CTlib module (version 2.00 or later) to get
the native DateTime handling.

To find out which version of sybperl you can do this:

perl -e 'use Sybase::DBlib; print $Sybase::DBlib::Version, "\n";'

You have access to the CTlib module if you have Sybase System 10
installed at your site.

PS. I guess I *could* add native handling of dates to DBlib as well...
