Newbie problem connecting to MS SQL Server

I am trying to connect to an MS SQL Server database, running on a Win2k
server, from a Solaris 5.8 system using Perl 5.6.1. I have installed
DBI and Bundle::DBD, but I can't get a connection. I have read the
READMEs, but am still unable to get the connection made.
I get the following message when installing DBD::ODBC:
The DBD::ODBC module needs to link with an ODBC 'Driver Manager'.
(The Driver Manager, in turn, needs one or more database specific ODBC
drivers.
The DBD::ODBC module does _not_ include any ODBC drivers!)
You need to indicate where your ODBC Driver Manager is installed.
You can do this ether by setting the ODBCHOME environment variable
or by runing 'perl Makefile.PL -o odbcdir'.
If you do not have an ODBC Driver Manager you can try building
the free iODBC Driver Manager in the iodbcsrc directory.
cpan> install iodbcsrc
Warning: Cannot install iodbcsrc, don't know what it is.
Try the command
i /iodbcsrc/
to find objects with matching identifiers.
cpan> i /iodbcsrc/
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /.cpan/Metadata
Database was generated on Tue, 26 Apr 2005 23:05:12 GMT
No objects found of any type for argument /iodbcsrc/
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
My environment:
Solaris 5.8
Perl 5.6.1
MS SQL Server database is running on a Win 2k server.
Thanks,
Mark
