I have successfully compiled Perl DBD::Informix 1.0.4 on Hpux 11i ( 64 bit )
environment! Much thanks goes to Mac,Daniel Tong, Evan, and Johnathan L. for their
helpful hints...What I had to do (from what everyone was hinting me to), was to start
from scratch....meaning, I had to Configure Perl 5.8.0 manually after I had Hp Ansi-c
installed before hand. Afterwards, Perl DBI-1.32 compiled without any issues and
DBD::Informix compiled with only the "sbspace" test failing which I didn't really
need. Here is a cutout of my successful compilation.
Running the ItWorks perl script afterwards:

I eventually got the DBI Informix modules to compile on an HP-UX 11.11
machine with 32-bit perl and 32-bit GCC 3.2 with clientsdk.2.70.HC1R1.
The solution was to run /opt/informix/bin/installesql. I don't know why
this worked but, it turned out that my esql script wasn't quite working
right all along. If you've already installed the clientsdk, then you
have to copy back the clientsdkcontents file from the original archive.
and then run the installesql script.
This seems/sounds like a hack to me, but has worked.
I hope this helps, I wish I had a more concrete solution for you, with
more indepth information. But I had to move fast on this!
