perl 5.6.0 isn't supported for a number of issues. I would recommend upgrading perl. Michael

After looking at your error log again I see that you are using DBI 1.12. That's also a really old version of DBI. You might be able to build DBD::Sybase 1.05 with your copy of perl if you upgrade DBI. However, be aware that current DBI versions also require perl 5.6.1 or later, so check to see which version will still build in your environment. Michael
