Thank you SOOOOOOO much Michael! That did it. If only that little bug had
been mentioned somewhere in the documentation.. Or perhaps it was and I
missed it. At any rate, thanks again. And what kind of virtual beer would
you like?

which I thought would be pretty simple. Getting the perl DBI to talk to a
remote MS SQL Server. Well, it turns out that it is fairly easy to do this.
I have implemented the FreeTDS module and the Sybase module for DBD and both
are working nicely. EXCEPT for one huge issue that is making all of the work
I've done pretty close to useless for my situation. I get a nasty "out of
memory" error whenever I try to select a "text" field from the MS SQL
Server. This error is reported from my OS (Linux) not the DBI from what I
can tell.
