  Does anyone know of an open source solution for connecting to SQL Server via perl running on Solaris.  If not open source, maybe something really, really cost effective?  Thanks.

  DBD :: ODBC (spaces are in place because it triggers a smiley) comes to mind, but you'll need an ODBC Driver Manager. Example here:

  Another option would be to get the FreeTDS libraries working.
