Why don't you take a look at CPAN (try http://www.cpan.org/)? My closes
mirror has DBD::ODBC at
http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/languages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/J/JU/JURL/DBD-ODBC-0.28.tar.gz

BTW: It's not Linux specific. If you want an RPM, I think you'll have to
make that yourself (I do).

I guess Antonio wanted to know if there were a way for him
to use DBD::ODBC with Linux. Well, not directly, because
DBD::ODBC is designed for an ODBC OS (=> Windows). But,
DBD::Proxy makes it possible for you to have perl scripts
work under linux and use an ODBC (residing on win32 machine).
Other multi-tier solutions are known to work, such as
Hotsockets, or Openlink.
