The AutoCommit is an over-site that I need to fix. You may
/opt init_autocommit=0, but it doesn't turn autocommit off. It just sets
the value to 0.
For now, use the "dbi:Sybase(AutoCommit=>0):..."
perldoc DBI
"You can also define connection attribute values within
the "$data_source" parameter. For example:
dbi:DriverName(PrintError=>0,Taint=>1):...
"

Put quotes around dbi:Sybase...;... If you're using Linux/Unix, the
semi-colon is interpreted as a command separator.
I've applied for a PAUSE id. Hopefully I'll have a new DBI::Shell
release soon.
