Hi, to access any DB2-Server anywhere from perl you need first the dbi , then you need a dbd e.g. dbd::db2 or dbd::odbc depending on how you intend to connect to db2 and whether you want to connect only to db2 or to different dbms'es using perl.
if you have at least one of these installed you should be able to connect via perl to all cataloged db2-databases, which are cataloged on the machine where your perl-script run's, no matter where they reside, e.g. on NT , AIX , Linux , Mainframe or AS/400! But allways under the before mentioned condition that you should have acces to them using the normal db2- and/or odbc-utilities.

I searched under Activestate and found a large group of DBI modules. Do I just need DBI? Or are there other modules which I work with DBI?
