Sybperl, version 1.0
Sybperl is a set of user-defined subroutines letting you access a
Sybase data server using Perl.
Requirements: Perl ver 3.0.27 or higher.
Sybase DB-Library (aka Open Client)
Unshar somewhere convenient, and edit Makefile to reflect your
system setup. The PERL_VERSION macro needs to be uncommented if you
are compiling sybperl for Perl version 3.xx. The Makefile will not
attempt to build uperl.o if it can't find it.
You'll also need to edit the lib/sybperl.pl file to addapt it to
your environment.
There are some test scripts in the t directory which you can run to
see if all is well, and to get an idea of what can be done with sybperl.
Sybperl has been tested succesfully in the following environments:
Sun Sparc, SunOS 4.1.1, Sybase 4.0.1, Perl 4.010
Sun 3/80, SunOS 4.0.3, Sybase 4.0.1, Perl 4.010
Sun Sparc, SunOS 4.1, Sybase 4.2, Perl 4.010
Pyramid MIServer 2/2, OSx V5.1a, Sybase 4.0, Perl 4.010
I use sybperl daily in a production environment on a Sun 4/65 under
SunOS 4.1.1, with Sybase version 4.0.1.
BUGS:
There seems to be a major incompatibility between Perl and
DB-Library, but I've been able to code around it. See the BUGS file
for details.
Have fun using it and let me know of any improvements, problems,
whatever...
