That's normal - no normal SA gets to go on vacation ;-)

OK - first, grab the Sybase ASE-11.0.3.3 distribution from
www.redhat.com (or from CD3 of your redhat distribution). This
includes the 11.0.3.3 version of the Sybase SQL Server, and updated
versions of the OpenClient libraries (inclusive of DB-Library).
If you don't want to use Sybase::DBlib, skip to the "building sybperl"
section.
Grab the latest perl sources from www.perl.com. Unpack, and build
with
./Configure -ders -Dlibs="-lnsl -lgdbm -ldl -lm -lc -lposix -lcrypt"
make
make test
su root
make install
The reason this is necessary is that perl by default links with -ldb
and -lndbm, and this causes a conflict with Sybase's DB-Library.
Building Sybperl:
Start with a fresh copy of the 2.10 distribution.
Edit CONFIG
Set DBLIBVS=0 *if* you've not installed a fresh copy of perl
Set EXTRA_LIBS=-linsck
Edit PWD and set it so that you can connect to your server.
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
You should now have a working sybperl. So make install and you should
be all done.
