[ale] Linux DB2 interface?

[Robert L. Harris]

   Seems I need to put together a perl script to suck some data out of a 
DB2 database.
I'm being told that there is no free interface such as ODBC to put on my 
Linux system
to do the connection.  Anyone know a good way or a have a sample script that
connects to a DB2 database and reads from some tables?

   I'm googling but the keywords give alot of irrelevant hits.
