This is a nice thought, but the latest release of DBD::DB2 is actually 0.78 (released a long time ago), but ActiveState wasn't interested in updating their version of the package because DBD::DB2 prereqs the DB2 Runtime Client.
Apparently ActiveState has made it a policy to avoid offering packages which are not entirely self-contained (because they don't want to be inundated with support calls complaining about a problem due to a missing third-party library). So until IBM can figure out how to avoid the dependency on the DB2 Runtime Client, ActiveState is apparently going to continue to offer a decrepit version of DBD::DB2. The last time esoftmatic.com disappeared from the Web was due to some DNS problems; more than likely this problem will clear up in a day or two.
