A grep of $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/include/*.h shows the following:
cspublic.h:68:#define CS_VERSION_100 (CS_INT)112
cspublic.h:69:#define CS_VERSION_110 (CS_INT)1100
cspublic.h:70:#define CS_VERSION_125 (CS_INT)12500
which means that the version information is for CS_VERSION_100 (i.e. TDS
capabilities compatible with OpenClient 10.x).
IIRC this is based on the version information that is set when the
Sybase::CTlib and/or DBD::Sybase module is loaded, and that in turn is
mostly defined at build time.

There is no real way of determining the compile-time version of OC that
was used (AFAIK), other than checking with ct_config(CS_VERSION) as you
did (though that won't give you any detailed information).
For run-time information you should do:
ct_config(CS_GET, CS_VER_STRING, $string, CS_CHAR_TYPE);
print "$string\n";
which gives, for me:
Sybase Client-Library/12.5.1 ASE Edition/P-EBF11370/DRV.12.5.1/Linux
Intel/Enterprise Linux Native Threads/BUILD1251-004/OPT/Mon Aug 11

I would strongly recommend upgrading your perl version to at least 5.6.1
