How do I invoke the db2 command process on Windows??

c2d has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am attempting to run some db2 client sql thru to a db2 system on a mainframe. I have used open2 before so no problem there. What I don't know is how to create the db2 command environment from inside of perl????!!! On a unix box I would just execute the necessary .profile statements. However, I have not found a way to do the equalivalent on Windows!!!! I am using the most recent release of ActiveState's Perl, db2 client 7.1 enterprise on Win2k.

I believe you want to look at the Perl DBI, and the DBD::DB2 database driver. _______________ D a m n D i r t y A p e Home Node \| Email	[reply]

While you really want to use DBI, you can just assign to the %ENV hash within Perl to set environment variables for your kids.	[reply]
