Thanks Brian
I compiled and tested the module successfully under perl 5.6.1 and 5.8.4.
This is what I did:
changed lines 642 and 643 to
$opts{LD} = "INFORMIXC='\$(FULLPERL) esqlld' " .
"ESQLLD='$Config{ld} \$(LDDLFLAGS)' \$(ESQL)" unless $NTConfiguration;
and then edited dbdimp.ec and set #define PERL_OBJECT
right above count_descriptors(char *stmt) function (at line 1603)
and everything compiled. Under perl 5.8 two tests failed but I think they
are minor ones.
Also thanks to Jonathan for pointing mi lines 642 and 643.
Note1: I didn't get all the wrong path errors, because my software resides
in directories that do not have spaces in their names
Note2: INFORMIXDIR environment variable must be set to the current
client-sdk directory, not to the actual informix dir or 'makefile.pl' and
'nmake test' will fail.

I had to add a #define in the middle of the source to fix it. Details are
in the posting.
