	Hello Michael,

	Thanks for replying.
	I have included the necessary information for your review.

	I have replied in 2 part:
	1. Information from the FAQ which I get with the sybperl
installation package.
	( your homepage FAQ doesn't have this info, so I am not sure which
one is recent )
	Because of this I raised a doubt whether there is any patch.

	2. Included the error message which I get while using "use
Sybase::CTlib"

	We are trying to use Sybperl for the first time and I am neither a
Sybperl expert or Sybase
	expert.

	Your suggestions would help.

	Thanks,
	Saravana.


	1. Message in the FAQ which comes with sybperl 2.09_05(pack) from
Sybperl homepage.

	There are two known problems:
	The Sybase::CTlib module does not work with OpenClient 11.x. I do
not  
	 know what the problem is, and have not been able to investigate
this.
	The test input file for the Sybase::BCP module gets mangled by
WinZip, 
	and this causes the tests for Sybase::BCP to fail. Daniel Durbin
suggests the following fix:

	
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------
	I have included the error message which I get when I try to use
	use Sybase::CTlib in my perl script.

	( I even tried using following where /opt/sybase is my sybase home
directory.

	  BEGIN {
	        $ENV{SYBASE} = "/opt/sybase";
	} 

	I don't have any errors when I tried "use Sybase::DBlib", it works
without
	any errors.  I am able to issue sql commands and get results back.

	The context allocation routine failed when it tried to load
localization files!!
	One or more following problems may caused the failure

	Your sybase home directory is /opt/sybase. Check the environment
variable SYBASE
	 if it is not the one you want! Using default locale name: "default"
