sybperl includes four modules: Sybase::DBlib, Sybase::CTlib, Sybase::BCP and Sybase::Sybperl. The first two implement a thin wrapper around the Sybase DB-Library and Client Library APIs, respectively. Sybase::BCP is a specialty module aimed at doing Bulk-Copy operations, and Sybase::Sybperl is a compatibility module with sybperl 1.xx (i.e. with the perl 4.x version). The sybperl modules are thin wrappers around the Sybase APIs. This is both good and bad. It's good because you have greater control, and because the API is (obviously) close to the way the server and the protocol work. It's bad in that it's a proprietary API, and that it is somewhat verbose.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
