Is sybtcl not working for you?

Is there a problem with something being stable and bug free?

The issue is this - the developers are uncomfortable writing
applications that are dependant on an extension that they've been
unable to find any support for, they don't have
time/money/energy/interest in learning the 4000+ lines of C code well
enough to support it themselves, and they are facing migrating to a new
version of Sybase without confidence that the five plus year old code
will compile and work with the code.

I suggested they could just move forward and see if it would work.
They're considering rewriting all that Tcl code into Perl so they can
use DBI, which is actively supported .
