I have no experience with Informix, but perhaps you need to store the
data as binary? The Apache::Session::Sybase module stores the data in
an IMAGE (rather than TEXT) field and does the necessary pack/unpack
to convert the data behind the scenes. Maybe you could do something
similar with Informix.
Hope this helps.
