:) Hey, I'm very willing to do whatever I can do to help you help me. -grin- > > Do I need to manually build a 64-bit Perl on this AIX box? > > Will that offset the problem? > > Either that or get a 32-bit (9.53.UCx) version of ESQL/C (2.81.UCx > version of ClientSDK). Turns out this box had 2 perls on it: 32-bit and 64-bit. Using the 64-bit perl, DBD::Informix installed just fine.

I'm up and running now, so I'm hesitant to fiddle with things. Would "-shared -thread" be a performance boost? A significant one? (I suppose that would depend on what I'm doing?) Thanks! j
