Hi all,
I am trying to install DBD::DB2 module in Linux box. But I got an error message as

make1: Entering directory `/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/DBD-DB2-0.78/Constants'
make1: Leaving directory `/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/DBD-DB2-0.78/Constants'

DB2.xs: In function `XS_DBD__DB2__db_DESTROY':

Please suggest me how to install properly in DBD::DB2 module in linux box.
Note: I already installed properly in DBI module and also I gave the export command before install DBD::DB2 module.
export DB2-HOME=/home/db2inst1/sqllib

    You're using what appears to be an outdated version. There was a release in May (version 1.1). Please check your DBI version as well.
