Assuming you can get the Informix client libraries for the Mac then the same setup should work remotely (Unless the Informix DB is not set up for remote access)
Or you could go down the DBI::Proxy route.

I have DBI and DBD::Informix installed on a SUN workstation in another building. Works great, no problems. On my desk is a Mac running OSX 10.3.5. Can I create and run scripts on my Mac that will access the Informix database? Because of network issues, this might not work, but I am curious to test it and see.
