Hello Michael,
i installed the freetds implementation of the CT-Lib and there i found 
the libsybdb.so.
Output from ldd is now:

sahadum:~# ldd 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i586-linux/auto/Sybase/DBlib/DBlib.so
       libsybdb.so.0 => /usr/local/sybase/lib/libsybdb.so.0 (0x40021000)
       libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4003a000)
       libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4005c000)
       /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

Looks good regarding your answer....but now i get the following 
relocation error, when invoking the script:

/usr/bin/perl: relocation error: 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i586-linux/auto/Sybase/DBlib/DBlib.so: 
undefined symbol: dbsetlname

Any idea, what is now missing?

Thanks in advance
Tina
