I'd be surprised if there were such a beastie.
What matters is not your OS version, but the version of the shared system libraries you have. Moreover (I'm not entirely clear on Informix licensing issues, but) it's usually illegal to distribute binaries of proprietary software. (which is what a precompiled package would be; of course these issues vanish if Informix is truly open source)
You are going to have to build it yourself, but take heart:
it's pretty likely that you have make and
cc available, and besides those things,
the only other thing you will NEED are the client libraries for
Informix from Informix. Those should have come with the rest of the Informix
package. If you download the DBD::Informix package and make it, Perl should handle the rest, assuming the client libraries
are in a sane place.
