The comp.lang.perl newsgroup has been dead for quite a while. Use
comp.lang.perl.modules, or comp.databases.sybase instead.

Good idea :-)

Ah - I see that you have a threaded version of perl - this *might* be
a problem, depending on which OpenClient libraries are linked to
DBD::Sybase.

I'm unfortunately not very familiar with AIX - does it have an ldd(1)
command?  If so, please run
	  ldd blib/arch/auto/DBD/Sybase/Sybase.so
This should list the libraries that are linked to the .so file. For
example, on my linux box I have:

troll (10:03AM):34 > ldd blib/arch/auto/DBD/Sybase/Sybase.so  
	libct.so => /opt/sybase-12.5/OCS/lib/libct.so (0x40015000)
	libcs.so => /opt/sybase-12.5/OCS/lib/libcs.so (0x40082000)
	libsybtcl.so => /opt/sybase-12.5/OCS/lib/libsybtcl.so (0x4008f000)
	libcomn.so => /opt/sybase-12.5/OCS/lib/libcomn.so (0x400d4000)
	libintl.so => /opt/sybase-12.5/OCS/lib/libintl.so (0x40131000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4013b000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x4013f000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x40162000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

It is possible that one of the libraries linked to the .so file is
conflicting with something else that is linked to perl itself.

BTW - can you use isql from the same shell?
