Well, I think that you should be using Perl 5, in which case the obvious choice is DBI and DBD::Informix. In general, this is pretty straight- forward to build, though if you have an obstreperous version of Unix or don't use the C compiler to create your shared object files, life can be rather tricky.

PS: Yes, I'm looking after DBD::Informix for the time being, so I don't count as unbiassed.
