IBM has just published an online tutorial on Using Perl to access DB2 for Linux. The tutorial is free, but does require registration (completely opt-out of marketing info)

The tutorial breaks down into 6 sections:

Tutorial Tips

Required Hardware and Software

The Perl DB2 components, explained

Installing the Perl DB2 components

Perl DB2 programming

Wrapup

The tutorial starts out with the basics and then goes into some intermediated DBI programming. The programming section is fairly generic in regards to other RDBMS's, with many aspects that translate right over to MySQL or PostgreSQL. The DB2 specific sections seem to be focused on the DBI connection to DB2.

If you are going to start DBI programming or you are using DB2 this tutorial is a great starting point. Once you register the tutorial is also available in PDF or Zipped(not gzip?) HTML.
