Most likely, your Perl was distributed with AIX - well, if it is in /bin or
/usr/bin, that is almost certainly true; if it is in /usr/local/bin or some
other location, maybe someone on your team did build it.

However it was built, you need to have the same compiler - cc_r - available
to you now. If the compiler is on the machine, fix your PATH. If it is not
on the machine, install it. If that is not possible, then you'll need to
get hold of a different C compiler and build and install your own copy of
Perl using that compiler, and then you can build and install DBI and
DBD::Informix.
