Sybase help: Open client, bcp function

To begin:
I use Linux

The Problem:
I need bcp functionality for scripts. Perl modules, such as Sybase:xfer, require ctlib which comes with Sybase Open Client. Talking with Sybase sales
reps is an exercise in futility and hate. They know absolutely nothing about their own products and will not return your calls or emails to avoid the "difficult questions" ...

Anyone else tackle this? Also, it should be noted that older perl modules like
Sybase::BCP and Sybase::BKLIB no longer work with newer versions of Sybase, though they do not depend on ctlib.

Any Open Client users out there? Where did you get it, what did get ...lastly, what do you run it on?

I hope we replace this application with something not dependent on Sybase in the future, but I'm stuck now. Do I actually need the whole ASE distribution just for ctlib/open client?

Thanks for reading!

** UPDATE ** I installed the full ASE package just for this minimal functionality ...what a pain. We do what we have to do I guess.
The package comes with an Open Client I will try just installing that on a different machine.

Session::Store::Sybase(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Session::Store::Sybase(3)

NAME
Apache::Session::Store::Sybase - Store persistent data in a Sybase database SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Session::Store::Sybase; my $store = new Apache::Session::Store::MySQL; $store->insert( $ref ); $store->update( $ref ); $store->materialize( $ref ); $store->remove( $ref ); DESCRIPTION
Apache::Session::Store::Sybase fulfills the storage interface of Apache::Session. Session data is stored in a Sybase database. SCHEMA
To use this module, you will need at least these columns in a table called 'sessions': id CHAR(32) # or however long your session IDs are. a_session IMAGE To create this schema, you can execute this command using the isql or sqsh programs: CREATE TABLE sessions ( id CHAR(32) not null primary key, a_session TEXT ) go If you use some other command, ensure that there is a unique index on the id column of the table CONFIGURATION
The module must know what datasource, username, and password to use when connecting to the database. These values can be set using the options hash (see Apache::Session documentation). The options are: DataSource UserName Password Example: tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Sybase', $id, { DataSource => 'dbi:Sybase:database=db;server=server', UserName => 'database_user', Password => 'K00l', Commit => 1, }; Instead, you may pass in an already-opened DBI handle to your database. tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Sybase', $id, { Handle => $dbh }; Additional arguments you can pass to the backing store are: Commit - whether we should commit any changes; if you pass in an already-open database handle that has AutoCommit set to a true value, you do not need to set this. If you let Apache::Session::Store::Sybase create your database, handle, you must set this to a true value, otherwise, your changes will not be saved textsize - the value we should pass to the 'set textsize ' command that sets the max size of the IMAGE field. Default is 32K (at least in Sybase ASE 11.9.2). AUTHOR
This module was based on Apache::Session::Store::Oracle which was written by Jeffrey William Baker <jwbaker@acm.org>; it was modified by Chris Winters <chris@cwinters.com> to work with Apache::Session 1.5+ with changes from earlier version of Apache::Session::DBI::Sybase from Mark Landry <mdlandry@lincoln.midcoast.com>.
