Sybperl patch 6 has been submitted to comp.sources.misc and should
appear soon.

From the CHANGES file:
	1.006	Added contributed patches: &dbwritetext(),
		&dbsafestr() and a modified &dblogin().
		Added &dbhasretstats() and &dbretstatus(), as well as
		some calls to DBlib macros such as DBCMD(),
		DBMORECMD(), etc.
		Received a patch to eg/space.pl from Wolfgang Richter.
		Code that was defined to compile if BROKER_DBCMD was
		defined has been removed. It was only a hack, making
		use of knowledge of the structure of the DBPROCESS
		data type.
		Added the possibility to return an associative array
		from &dbnextrow.
		Added support for new datatypes (SYBREAL, SYBDATETIME4).
		NULL values retrieved using &dbnextrow can be returned
		as 'undef' instead of 'NULL' (this is a compile-time
		option).


As usual, comments are welcome!
