Download DB2 for Linux (must be the Enterprise edition, the personal
development edition [PDE] does not have DB2 Connect). Unfortunately the EE
is only good for 90 days.. after which you pay.
Once you have DB2 installed (easy, bunch of RPM's, drops in /opt) you can
build DBD::DB2. Then you can talk to your DB2 just the same way I talk to
PostgreSQL and Oracle -- via Perl..
You just gotta love Perl.
I don't kow how to set up the DB2 Connect though (analogous to
tnsnames.ora and listener.ora).
