theguvnor has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Anyone know if it's possible to talk to a mainframe database (DB2 on OS/390) from the desktop (RedHat9) without installing DB2 Connect on the desktop and registering the datasource as a DSN with DB2 Connect?

I don't have enough room on the desktop to install DB2 Connect, and would like to avoid resizing any partitions if possible.

Ideas?
