FYI...
While Jonathan doesn't support DBD::Informix on Windows, I have been
able to take his source and build a Windows version that works with
ActiveState Perl. For two different versions if DBD::Informix, the most
recent version being 200502. So it is possible, but requires the proper
windows tools, plus figuring out the numerous tweaks and changes to the
build scripts and source files. The details have been posted to this
mailing list in the past.

DBD::Informix is located on CPAN, as usual.
There is no DBI::Informix package that I know of.
I suspect that your question means that you are running on Windows,
rather than Unix, and using ActiveState Perl, and are wanting a PPM for
DBD::Informix on Windows.
Sadly, I have not yet got DBD::Informix running on Windows - partly for
lack of motivation, partly for lack of time. So, there is no PPM
available. Various people at various times have reported various
issues; due to the lack of a test environment, I've not tested it
recently (meaning in the last 5+ years). Fundamentally, it hasn't been
enough of an itch for me to be particularly interested in scratching it
- which may or may not be wholly a good idea, but I'm only a volunteeer
when it comes to doing DBD::Informix (I'm not specifically paid by IBM
or anyone else to do it).
I'm hoping to do some testing on Windows between now and the end of the
year (hoping means that - no promises). If anyone needs it sooner than
that, they'll have to provide some round tuits.

If you're not familiar with 'Round Tuits', Google is your friend.
