Perl DBD::Sybase 1.14.01 for Active State Perl 5.16 Windows XP/Vista/7/8 32bit AND 64bit

Sybase Openclient is included in the Sybase Developer's Kit, and ASE PC Client.  If you don't have a license, you can download the ASE 15.7 Developer Edition for Windows which will include it.  The PPMs require Openclient 15.7 for Windows.

Install ActiveState Perl from http://www.activestate.com (free) and install DBI if it isn’t already installed.  It should be but you never know…

1. Start -> ActiveState Perl -> Perl Package Manager
2. install DBI
3. exit

Now, the easy part.  Install the DBD-Sybase-1.14 1.14 PPM:

1. download DBD-Sybase-1.14
2. extract zip file to temporary directory (e.g. c:\test)
3. Start -> Run -> cmd.exe (as Administrator)
4. cd \test
5. ppm install DBD-Sybase.ppd
6. exit

That’s it It should automatically install the DBD::Sybase for Perl 5.16 32bit or 64bit depending on which version of Active State Perl you have installed.
