First off, your problem has nothing to do with perl. There are many good places to get DB2 help: comp.databases.ibm-db2 from your local ISP's newsserver (or via google), IBM has its own newsserver (news.software.ibm.com) which has DB2 groups on it, and IBM's developerworks has some forums, too, that are heavily monitored. I suggest going to one of these places (the first one is the easiest to go to, IMO). Or, if you're stuck, you can always open a PMR with IBM. I've heard good reports about IBM's help in situations like this.

Second, it looks like you applied a fixpack and didn't follow the fixpack readme instructions. I would be more than happy to help you out with this - but only if you post to an appropriate forum. I don't think most of the monks are interested in this discussion, nor should they be.

If, for example, you're having a hard time finding the readme, I'd give you the URL. But only in a DB2 newsgroup or forum. There's no need to pollute PM with such off-topic questions where there are perfectly good places where this would be completely on-topic.
