Can anyone offer help in resolving issue found while trying to install DB2 driver.
Running into an error while attempting to install DB2 Perl Database Interface for LUW.
The IBM website list the follow pre-reqs:
Linux: Perl version 5.8 or above
DBI version 1.53 and above
IBM DB2 client version 9 fp2 and above

openSUSE comes native with Perl:
linux-sy4t:/home/gman # perl -v

The platform is a VirtualBox install of:
linux-sy4t:/opt/ibm/db2/V10.5 # cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.11.10-7-desktop (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.8.1 20130909
gcc-4_8-branch revision 202388 (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 3 09:41:24 UTC 2014 (750023e)

I went to http://search.cpan.org/~ibmtordb2/DBD-DB2/lib/Bundle/DBD/DB2.pm. I found it
suggested and ran "perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::CPAN'" entering default values.
It terminated, stating make had failed and install seems impossible.
I then downloaded and ran:

linux-sy4t:/home/gman/Downloads/DBD-DB2-1.85 # ./Makefile.PL
./Makefile.PL: line 8: use: command not found
./Makefile.PL: line 9: use: command not found
./Makefile.PL: line 10: use: command not found
./Makefile.PL: line 13: use: command not found
./Makefile.PL: line 15: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./Makefile.PL: line 15: `my %opts = ('

Line 8 reads "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker ;#qw(&WriteMakefile $Verbose );" so I
installed ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.94:
linux-sy4t:/home/gman/Downloads/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.94 # ./Makefile.PL
Using included version of JSON::PP (2.27203) as it is newer than the installed version (2.27202).
Using included version of JSON::PP::Compat5006 (1.09) because it is not already installed.
Using included version of Parse::CPAN::Meta (1.4405) as it is newer than the installed version (1.4404).
Using included version of File::Copy::Recursive (0.38) because it is not already installed.
Generating a Unix-style Makefile
Writing Makefile for ExtUtils::MakeMaker
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json

The directory ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.94 also contained a file "INSTALL" stating:
TO INSTALL
For all users on most Unix systems:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
sudo make install

Makefile.PL output is above. The others yielded:
linux-sy4t:/home/gman/Downloads/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.94 # make
If 'make' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf make
linux-sy4t:/home/gman/Downloads/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.94 # make test
If 'make' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf make
linux-sy4t:/home/gman/Downloads/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.94 # sudo make install
sudo: make: command not found

Reran linux-sy4t:/home/gman/Downloads/DBD-DB2-1.85 # ./Makefile.PL with same result as before.
linux-sy4t:/home/gman/Downloads/DBD-DB2-1.85 # ./Makefile.PL
./Makefile.PL: line 8: use: command not found
./Makefile.PL: line 9: use: command not found
./Makefile.PL: line 10: use: command not found
./Makefile.PL: line 13: use: command not found
./Makefile.PL: line 15: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./Makefile.PL: line 15: `my %opts = ('

I would certainly appreciate any help that could be offered.
