So what is Sybase::Simple?

It's a partial re-write of the SybTools.pm module that is on my web
page. It's a simplified API that sits on top of the Sybase::CTlib
module, and offers several short-cut calls, like, for example,
Scalar():

my $date = $dbh->Scalar("select getdate()");

Additional calls are HashRow(), ArrayRow(), ArrayOfHash(), ExecSql(),
among others.

I've also attempted to integrate error handling, although more work
needs to go into that area...

Those of you who find Sybase::CTlib baffling or complicated may find
this module useful.

Feedback, as usuall, is greatly appreciated.

Michael
