You will have a better chance of getting a useful answer if you ask this on
the ActiveState email lists. I suggest you email them to
1. Request that they provide a pre-compiled DBD::Informix for Informix
1.00.
2. Ask them for instructions for compiling your own if they can't.
I'm fairly sure you will at least need Visual C++ in the same version they
used to build the Perl binary you are using.
