We also use Open Client 15.0 and everything works, mostly. We have been butting up against the 30 character limit for object names when running scripts through Perl (5.6) ever since. Most of the time we simply rename things to be 30 characters or less. This is now becoming somewhat of a pain. Is it possible to recompile/tweak/modify something in the Perl DBI code to get around this? Keep in mind that I am NOT a Perl developer (he left!) but am tasked with trying to get this fixed. We found some C code that uses Sybase.h, and we assume that somewhere in all that is the datatype restriction that limits the object names to 30 characters. Can a newer header file be used to recompile the dll or am I barking up the wrong tree? Any help or direction you could give us would be great. Surely someone has Sybase 15.0 and Perl 5.6 working with long object names...
