Thanks, but that doesn't answer my question.

Do you really need the DB2DIR and INSTHOME environment variables? I don't, and I'm trying to find out what minimum is required to run Perl code to access DB2. I don't want to have to rely blindly on the db2profile script.

I'd be very interested to find out what happens for you if you delete everything except DB2INSTANCE from your environment, and run your script again.
