Hi Tom,
DBI itself has no control over this. It's DBD::Sybase, and more precisely what
DBD::Sybase tells OpenClient to do.
You need to rebuild your DBD::Sybase binary with the 15.x OpenClient
installation, and you need to use a version of DBD::Sybase that is recent
enough to understand CS_VERSION_150 or CS_VERSION_CURRENT (1.09 or later, I
believe).
