Re^3: Connect to DB2 Database with Perl DBI in Windows 7

See this issue report, which suggests that the problem is because the code doesn't compile with the gcc bundled with Strawberry Perl.

I believe that the core issue is gcc compiler support under Windows. T
+here 
is a history here... that shows that in 2010, a patch was contributed 
+for 
DBD::DB2 1.78 for gcc on Windows.    DBD::DB2 1.85, the current versio
+n on 
CPAN, doesn't include this patch (or it no longer works).

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

See this issue report, which suggests that the problem is because the code doesn't compile with the gcc bundled with Strawberry Perl. Should all attempts to compile DBD::DB2 fail, consider installing an ODBC driver for DB2 and use DBD::ODBC instead.
