From the IBM website:

NOTE: The DBD::DB2 module is not available for install with ActivePerl 5.8. If you are using ActivePerl 5.8, you can install the DBD::DB2 module by entering the following on the command line:

ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2/DBD-DB2.ppd >

Alternatively, you can go to the ftp site:
ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2
, and download the DBD-DB2.ppd and DBD-DB2-0.76-5.8.2.tar.gz files, and install them locally with this command:
ppm install DBD-DB2.ppd

The DBD::DB2 module requires the DBI module to be installed first, so if you have not yet installed DBI, you can do so by entering the following on the command line:
ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2/DBI.ppd

Offense, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, and a fantasy.
By guaranteeing freedom of expression, the First Amendment also guarntees offense.
