All,
We're trying to override the DBI->connect() method for DBD::DB2 to
support longer database names.
Some background:
- DB2 supports only 8-character database names and aliases

Hence we wrote DBD::MSDB2, which basically sub-classes DBD::DB2:
This is, IMO, the right approach. However, doing this is not as easy as
you might think. I once wrote a guide, see the section "SUBCLASSING DBI
DRIVERS" in "perldoc DBI::DBD".
