Perl Gurus: I trying to connect my perl script to a MS SQL Server from a Suse 11. I've tried using Freetds but was unsuccessful. I then tried downloading the Sybase AES ODBC libraries, but I'm not sure if just simply coping the Sybase.pm into the Perl library will work. Below is my script. Your help will be appreciated.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

#You might need to define parameters for the input.

use DBI;
use Getopt::Long qw(:config no_ignore_case);

my ($status, $failed, $host, $verbose, $timeout);
my $VERSION     = 0.1;
my $HELP        = 0;

# Default values
$failed = 0;

my %STATUSCODE = (  'OK'       => '0',
                    'WARNING'  => '1',
                    'CRITICAL' => '2',
            'UNKNOWN'  => '3');

my $usage = <<EOF;

my $result = GetOptions( "H|host=s"        => \$host,
             "h|help"          => \$HELP,);

if( !$result ) {

    print $usage;

    exit($STATUSCODE{'UNKNOWN'});}
if ( !($host) ){
    print "ERROR: Missing required arguments\n";
    print $usage;
    exit($STATUSCODE{'UNKNOWN'});}; 

my $dsn = 'DBI:Sybase:server=prime';

my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:Sybase:server=test;UID=sa;PWD=;');
if (!$dbh){die "Could not open connection to DSN because of [$!]";}

my $query = $dbh->selectall_arrayref("SELECT  COGIPF_STATUS
