perl -MSybase::DBlib -e 'print $Sybase::DBlib::Version, "\n";'
or
perl -MSybase::CTlib -e 'print $Sybase::CTlib::Version, "\n";'
or even

perl -MSybase::CTlib'(9999)'

THis last one uses a trick - it asks perl to load a Sybase::CTlib
where the VERSION value is at least 9999. When it fails it gives you
the version that it found:

kiruna (3:51PM):1 > perl -MSybase::CTlib'(9999)'
Sybase::CTlib 9999 required--this is only version 2.1001 at - line 0
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
