I confirmed the problem occurs on another machine I was wondering about.
I tried installing the latest DBI and DBD::Informix. DBI was okay, but
DBD::Informix started out giving me the following warnings on 'perl
Makefile.PL':
----
Using INFORMIX-ESQL Version 9.21.UC1 from /usr/informix
Please upgrade to a more recent version of ClientSDK.
DBD::Informix will probably work, but that is not guaranteed.
Note that bug RT#13708 (IBM CQ bug idsdb00139040) may affect you.
In particular, if test t/t931varchar.t detects problems, consider an
upgrade to CSDK 3.00 or later - it seems to be fixed there.
----
That sounds like it could be related to my problem. Do you think I
could report to management where I work that this known bug might be
causing the problem, and that CSDK 3.00 is recommended?
I also happened to fail in 'make test' on DBD::Informix, but I'll have
to get back to you later on that.
