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;

Test

EOF

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

if( !$result ) {
    print "ERROR: Problem with cmdline args\n";
    print $usage;
    exit($STATUSCODE{'UNKNOWN'});}
if( $HELP ) {
    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
                FROM [PVP21_Audit].[dbo].[COGIPF_AGENTRUN] 
                WHERE [COGIPF_LOCALTIMESTAMP] >= CONVERT(VarChar(20), 
+GetDate() +1,101)", { Slice => {} }
                );

foreach $query (@$query) {
    if ($query->{COGIPF_STATUS} eq 'Failed') {$failed = 1}
}

unless (@$query) { $failed = 1 };

if ( $failed == 0  ) {
    print "Jobs Succeeded\n";
    exit($STATUSCODE{'OK'});
}elsif ( $failed == 1 ){
    print "Job Failure\n";
    exit($STATUSCODE{'CRITICAL'});
}else{
    print "Undetermined error\n";
    exit($STATUSCODE{'UNKNOWN'});

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
