Thanks for the hint. I should've looked more carefully, turns out this
was a permissions problem. (The directory in question was owned by the
user, but 755 instead of 775, wtf?)

Anyway, the db2 CLI client seems to be working fine, but getting the
Perl DBD::DB2 module to work seems to be impossible. It compiles fine,
but it will result in a FreeBSD perl library, which itself is linked
against a Linux library.

Is there a way to make this work? Short of using a linux perl
binary+module?
