Hi,
As mod_perl 2 is going to be released shortly the issue with DBI and friends not being thread-safe (I believe DBI is fine, but DBDs are not) becomes a problem. Since Apache 2 has a bunch of threaded MPM implementations and while Unix users could always use prefork MPM (no threads) windows users can't afford this luxary, they need the modules to be thread-safe in order to use those.
DBD::Sybase is thread-safe, AFAIK, provided that it is built with the _r version of the Sybase libraries.
Any chance http://dbi.perl.org/ could have a section which documents this issue? i.e. specify starting from what version a given DBD is thread safe and what are the build/linking requirement (_r lib)?
