Hello Peter, How are you invoking the script? Do you have a perl script that you double click?
If so, can you try opening a command/powershell window and running your program? You'll likely have to specify the full path to the perl binary then pass your script as the first parameter. E.g.: \strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe my_script.pl I have not encountered this particular problem with db2 but this is my first step when trying to get one of my scripts to run in Windows (I'm a Linux enginner by the Windows engineers steal a lot of my applications), perhaps someone has more specific experience than myself.
