Connect to Informnix Database through Perl

Group, I would like to access Informix database from Perl. I have DBI already installed in our Perl environment. When I tried to install DBD::Informix 0.60, I got the error "No executable ESQL/C compiler <..>/bin/esql". I know this is clearly specified in the DBI::Informix README file. I am very much new to Informix and how do I know some package is installed or not. We are using Informix 7.24. Is that ESQL/C a different product that is not used in Informix. When I searched the whole directory I found only one file "bin/esqlvers". The README says, "You must have a version of Informix ESQL/C or Informix ClientSDK available to you. .. If you have Informix ODBC drivers available to you, consider using DBD::ODBC instead." Where can I locate/get ClientSDK or ODBC drivers? Is there any compiled version of DBD::Informix available fot AIX 4.x OS. Thanks a lot for your time. Dominic Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
