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.

Since you are in windows you might want to just to use Activeperl and ppm to
get the latest version which I think is
' DBD-DB2 [0.76] DBD-DB2'

Subject: DB2.pm for Perl 5.8 needed
Hi,
I am looking to install the Win32 DB2.pm library for perl 5.8.7 or 5.8.8.
The previously recommended site of http://ftp.esoftmatic.com/DBI/
http://ftp.esoftmatic.com/DBI/ no longer seems to contain the necessary
ppds.
Can someone recommend another location?
thanks
andrei
