For SybPerl.

I got help from Dave Thiede on the SybPerl list.

He writes:
-------------- Installation ------------------
install the sybase client kit per their somewhat brain dead instructions.
They don't tell you to run the installer from the CD mount point but that
is the only way I have been able to get it working.

tar xf perl-5.003.tar
tar xf sybperl-2.07.tar
cd perl-5.003
sh Configure -d
make
make test
make install
cd ../sybperl-2.07
vi CONFIG
        SYBASE=/usr/local
        EXTRA_LIBS=-ldnet_stub
vi CTlib/Makefile.PL <<<<<--------- Michael !!!!
        /-linsck <<<<<---------
        i-lsdna <<<<<---------
vi PWD
        ....
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
-------------- End Installation ------------------

For sqsh (the isql replacement to exercise the CTlib stuff supplied by sybase)
I applied a patch supplied by Scott Gray:

A quick work-around is to pull up sqsh_sig.c in vi
and do:

   :set noic
   :%s/sig_t/signl_t/g

Then, save and recompile.

Then I applied the solution to the SybPerl problem and modified the SYBASE_LIBS
line to add -lsdna and -linsck:

SYBASE_LIBS = -lblk -lct -lcs -ltcl -lsdna -linsck -lcomn -lintl -ldnet_stub
-lm

Thanks to all those others who offered suggestions.
