The manpage says it accepts host+port.
If you read the man page completely you'll notice that the host+port connect() argument are only supported when using *Sybase* openclient 12.5.1 or later. It is not supported with FreeTDS. > > I am operating in a HPUX 11.11 environment, and have the DBD::Sybase > statically linked using the freetds libs.

Did you give it a valid server name during the configuration phase of the build? Is that server correctly defined in the freetds.conf file? Is the SYBASE env. variable set correctly to point at the FreeTDS installation?
