Do you have the DB2 client software installed too? It probably doesn't
require just the DBD::DB2 driver library; it also requires the supporting
libraries from ... is it DB2 Connect? And without those libraries, loading
the DBD::DB2 driver library fails (but because a supporting module couldn't
be found, not because the main DB2.dll module could not be found).
Basically, could you connect to DB2 without Perl from you machine? If not,
neither can the Perl DBD::DB2 driver. If so, have you set the environment
correctly so that Perl is picking up the DB2 libraries.
