I am sure everyone in the Perl community knows what you are trying to do by now, except perhaps for the one person two three four (*) people who voted to keep this node who I assume isn't aren't on any of the mailling lists, usenet groups and other web sites where you have posted this question.

As I answered you on the London.pm Mail List:

The Red Brick client protocol is different to the Informix IDS one
despite Informix having bought the database ages ago - I would be highly
skeptical that it would work, there may  however be a unix ODBC driver
available in which case you will be able to use DBD::ODBC (if you
install unixodbc or iODBC or whatever).

You can find more details about the Red Brick ODBC driver here and there is a Red Brick specific mailling list here where I am sure you will find someone who can answer your question.
