in reply to DBD-DB2

Well, I do not have personal experience with DB2 in that environment, but I daresay I can hazard a guess that the DB2 interface to your computer requires that certain drivers or libraries be present, and they’re not there ... such that no application, Perl or otherwise, would be able to connect.   Can any other application on your computer access the DB2 databases right now?   If you just installed the driver software, have you rebooted your machine since then?

    What other applications are you talking about? I can access DB2 through JDBC, ODBC using Java, VB etc. I cannot install DBD DB2.

    Thanks, Joydeep

      Did you read the readme that comes with DBD::DB2. Specifically:

      Ensure the following DB2 product is installed. DB2 Application Development Client v7.2 or later Included with the DB2 Personal Developer's Edition and the DB2 Universal Developer's Edition The Application Development Client can be downloaded here: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/support/

      Have you installed the latest version of the client?
