I might have been wrong about this working before I upgraded all those
messages. I could have sworn that my table_info script used to work via
dbiproxy, but I just reverted all of the above modules (except for
File::Spec) back to the versions I was using previously, and table_info still
isn't working.
Unfortunately, I didn't have debug turned on in my dbiproxy logfile, so I
can't prove it definitively one way or the other, though I did notice a fair
number of 'Can't call method "execute" without a package or object reference
at /usr/contrib/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/alpha-dec_osf/DBD/Sybase.pm line
151' errors in my non-debug dbiproxy logfile going back over the past year.

Michael, does the table_info method work for you via dbiproxy?
Any suggestions on how I should proceed to get to the bottom of this?
