Two questions:

1) When last I was using error handlers in Sybase, it was for DBLib or Sybase::DBLib and there were two, err_handler and msg_handler. Can I assume from the DBD::Sybase docs that there is one exposed handler now (syb_err_handler) and that it should be coded to handle the
functions of both err and msg handler? , i.e I COULD do this:

sub my_old_err_handler {
..
}

syb my_old_msg_handler {
..
}

syb my_new_handler {
	if ($state==0 && $line==0 && !defined($server) && not
		defined($proc)) {
		return my_old_msg_handler (@_);
	} else {
		return my_old_err_handler(@_);
	}
}

2) If I decide to skip processing, what value should be returned? $err?
