My bet is that the SYBASE environment variable is not set correctly in 
the script. The SYbase libraries need this variable to find the
interfaces file.

If you use the Apache http server you can set the variable in the
httpd.conf file with the SetEnv directive, or you can set it in the
script itself:

BEGIN {
     $ENV{SYBASE} = '/the/sybase/home/directory';
}

use Sybase::DBlib;
etc...
