Fun with DBD::ODBC

[sylvar]

I'm trying to install DBD::ODBC so I can use ODBC-Sybase to make some interesting additions to our drab catalog. Sadly, it's becoming so much of a PITA that I'm already tempted to backtick a call to isql, which just seems like the Wrong Way.

my limited experience is that ODBC is evil. Use db code and protocols native to your database you are using if possible.
