Informix interface to Perl, any experience?

I have had a look at Kevin Stock's nice little Perl extension for Oracle 'oraperl'. I would very much like to have such a thing for the Informix database system, with which I work daily. The ESQL/C that I use, however, seem to be somewhat more inconvenient for this than the Pro*C that is used in oraperl. I cannot easily see, for instance, how to save cursors and prepared statements in dynamic perl structures; ESQL/C seem to insist, that cursors and prepared statements are allocated on compile time. Have anybody else been looking at this problem? Please answer to me by e-mail, and I will summarize to the news group. Best regards --peder chr. -- Peder Chr.
