I have not tried any of these setups; I have derived the information from
various online sources (web pages, usenet, etc.), and some amount of working
knowledge of databases. Keep this in mind; the solutions may or may not
work.
One option is to use DBD::Sybase. Apparently it's compatible with MS-SQL
because MS just took an older Sybase and slapped a new label on it.
Another is to use DBD::ODBC. This will require an ODBC driver, and at some
point I heard there was one available to connect to MS-SQL from Unix. I may
have misheard.
Lastly, setup a DBI proxy using the DBD::Proxy module (perldoc DBD::Proxy).
This is, obviously, the least direct of the solutions, but if there is no
other support for MS-SQL in Unix, it's your best bet.
Doing a search on Google will probably yield good results; I've seen the
question posed several times in the past in various forums.
