[OT] connecting to MS SQL on a different computer (DBD::ODBC)

Can anyone give pointer(s) on how to connect to a server which runs MS SQL
using DBD::ODBC? I thought it would be as simple as specifying a host and
port, but I can't seem to get it working, and been googling for quite some
time and not found any solution yet and I am a bit lost in UNC, DNC and
more 3 letter abbreviations :-(
