Joe,
You'll need to install perl DBI and DBD Informix. Use the CPAN Client
to download and install the as follows:
perl -MCPAN -e chell
The above starts up the CPAN client in interactive mode. The issue the
following commands:
install DBI
That will download and install the PERL database interface. The you'll
need the informix DBD, database driver AKA DBD::Informix. This will
almost certainly need the Informix client libraries. Check the informix
web site for information on how to get them. A couple of years ago,
they were giving away Informix for Linux... They may still be.
Good luck!
