I have discovered that when we built sybperl, that DBlib.pm and DBlib.sl
both ended up with "hardcoded" references to:
$SYBASE/lib/libsybdb.sl and $SYBASE/lib/lininsck.sl using the value of
$SYBASE at the time of the build.  Subsequently changing the values of
$SYBASE to point to a different valid directory will cause the job to fail
if the original directory no longer exists.

Is this the way it is supposed to work?  Can you only use sybperl with one
release?  Do you have to rebuild sybperl everytime you change your $SYBASE
release directory?  Is there any way to make DBLib.{pm|sl} look at the
current value of $SYBASE?
