It looks like you should be wrapping your SQL in transactions instead.
dbcancel() or dbcanquery() can't interrupt a query that is currently
running (at least I don't think that they can).
The real way to do this would be to install an interupt handler via
dbsetinterupt() and have that handler return INT_CANCEL if it wants
the current SQL batch to be interupted. Unfortunately Sybperl does not
support dbsetinterupt() at this time, so you can't really interupt a
batch the way you can in isql (with Control-C).

I suspect that you are calling dbcancel() at the wrong time (ie while
a query is being processed). Please read the man page on
dbsetinterupt() in the Sybase DBlibrary/C docs to see what I mean.
