ROTFL This is not exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for but thanks anyway :-)
Seriously, this driver can be useful to people whose work involves (like me) data reporting from mainframe systems. Imagine this scenario: your boss asks you to produce a report that require manipulation of data from different sources, one of which is a DB2 database located on a mainframe.This scenario is very common in banking, finance and insurance environment. Now, the traditional way of doing this require: -) writing a JCL and one or more Cobol programs on the mainframe side to extract the raw information needed from the mainframe. -) writing a program on the pc side to acquire the data from the mainframe ,combine it with other data sources, and finally format the report. Based on my experience, using this driver and some other perl modules like Spreadsheet::WriteExcel you can dramatically reduce development time from weeks to days.
