[ale] OT: Querying DB2 on an AS400 via Perl on a Linux appliance

[Jeff Hubbs]

Robert -

I've done some connecting to DB2 from Tomcat on Linux.  The platform on 
which DB2 runs probably won't be germane to how you connect to it, but I 
*think* you'll be getting what you need on the Linux side from IBM.  If 
there's a generic (e.g., ODBC?) connector to use in Perl, I wouldn't run 
to that first.
