I have a project where I need to connect and make a select from a DB2
database. The db2 version I am using is version 2.

As far as I can tell there is no db2 version 2 driver.

So I have been considering using shell commands to connect and make the
select ; however, this is a very inefficiant way of doing it because I have
lots unique selects to do.

I have tried using IPC::open2 module but I get deadlock.;
