 If you're using this driver than your version of Sybase does not support
-placeholders, or your version of L<DBD::Sybase> is too old (you need at least
-C<1.09>. You can check with:
+placeholders, or your version of L<DBD::Sybase> was compiled with FreeTDS rather

   $dbh->{syb_dynamic_supported}
 
+To see if you are using FreeTDS, run:
+
+  perl -MDBD::Sybase -le 'print grep /Sybase\./, @DynaLoader::dl_shared_objects' | xargs ldd
+
+If you see C<libct.so> or similar, rather than C<libsybct.so> then you are using
+FreeTDS.
