From some experience trying to interface with MS-SQL 2000 with Perl, these are the things that I've discovered..
MSSQL::* libraries don't work from Unix.. I may have looked at an outdated version of the pages, but this page is what I saw and it wasn't very encouraging about working on Unix, or getting these libraries to work with SQL server 2000.
DBD::ODBC as mentioned above, worked well for me..I'd really not advise using something like DBD::Proxy, although that is indeed one option, because of the potential heavy traffic... instead use a Unix ODBC bridge such as iODBC in conjunction with DBD::ODBC... it may not be the fastest, perhaps.. but on what I implemented, it survived a load test of 150 concurrent users with no problems..

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
