That looks suspiciously like a perl4 error message (or maybe even 
shell, or ???)

Put these assignements in a BEGIN{} block:

BEGIN {
 $ENV{SYBASE} = "c:\\sybase";
 $ENV{PERL5LIB} = "c:\\perl\\lib;c:\\perl\\lib\\site";
}

otherwise the 'use' command below happens *before* the assignements
to %ENV.

That should help.
