How do you know it's not in FreeTDS?

What does a standalone DBD::Sybase+FreeTDS test script show you?

What encoding is the data originally in?

Can you show us the CREATE TABLE statement and the corresponding DBIC class?

C'mon dude, so far your question is only one step removed from "how long is
