DBI does not need to be changed unless you want to upgrade to a more recent version.

With DBD::Informix, it depends on how it was compiled and on where you are placing the 
new version of CSDK.  By default, the compilation includes the absolute pathname of 
the Informix shared libraries, so if you are leaving the existing libraries where they 
are, you need do nothing.  If you are installing the new libraries over the old ones 
(no parallel running), then you need do nothing.  If you are going to relocate the new 
software and (sooner or later) remove the old, then you need to recompile with the new 
version of CSDK.  If you did a non-default compile with 
DBD_INFORMIX_RELOCATABLE_INFORMIXDIR set in the environment, then you simply need to 
adjust the value of SHLIB_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH or whatever to include the new library 
directories instead of the old ones.
