&lt;p&gt;The only difference i can see between your configuration and the example from the ubuntu site is that you miss the value for the Database key in the server section of your odbci.ini. I mentioned this already. As far as i understood the manual you must provide a value for that key (...yes, i'm skating on thin ice).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please keep in mind that this is not a perl issue. Read the manual again - with patience. This is something that i can't do for you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://freetds.schemamania.org/userguide/perl.htm"&gt;also&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;There are a few ways to use Perl to connect to a SQL Server using FreeTDS.The recommended choice is [cpan://DBD::Sybase] from &lt;a href="http://www.peppler.org"&gt;Michael Peppler&lt;/a&gt;. Despite the name it works for any Sybase or Microsoft SQL Server...&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;[tobyink] already mentioned this, see above.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Regards, Karl&lt;/p&gt;
