    I suspect that upgrading Exporter will do the trick. The real problem is that DBD::DB2 makes assumptions about DBI's internals. It uses 

    require_version DBI 1.41;

    [download]

    instead of 

    use DBI 1.41;

    [download]

    or 

    DBI->VERSION(1.41);

    [download]

    You can change /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/DBD/DB2.pm line 27 to either.
