Yep - that's the first public version of sybperl - which was checked
into SCCS on September 4 1991.
This first version has a total of 10 DBlibrary calls that it knows
about, and had an internal emulation of dbcmd() because I hadn't
realized that both Sybase and perl have a function called savestr().
The README states that you need perl 3.0.27 or later...
I had a version of sybperl for about a year before that - but I don't
have any traces of the source anymore. That version didn't even have
dblogin() - it automatically logged you in to the server with your
Unix userid and a null password, a behaviour that is actually still
available in the Sybase::Sybperl emulation layer, I believe...
All in all, in the last 10 years I've released 12 versions of sybperl
1.00, and 13 versions of sybperl 2.00 (not counting beta/test/patch
versions)
I'm pretty amazed that I'm still working on sybperl today!
I guess that just shows how useful perl is :-)
