using perl to access remote db2

[gyhlee]

Can I use perl to connect a db2 in another machine?
What is the connect code?
WhY I always get DBI->connect(sample:<foregnhost>:6789) failed: [IBM][CLI Driver] SQL1001N &quot;SAMPLE:<foreignhost>:6789&quot; is
not a valid database name. SQLSTATE=2E000
Is there anything do with the configuration or environment variables?

Please help
Thanks all experts in advance.
Cheers,
gyhlee

Have you catalogued the remote database in your host database. If not it won't be able to see it as it won't know on which machine it resides.
