Informix IDS2000 and Zope/Python/Perl/PHP on Linux

Hi all! I am consindering to use Informix Dynamic Server (Informix Internet Foundation 2000/Linux) together with Zope and the other 3 P's. I wonder, whether somebody has any experience with Linux and - IDS 2000 and Perl or - IDS 2000 and PHP or - IDS 2000 and Python or - IDS 2000 and Zope and can tell me about the experience he made with one or more of these combinations. I am interested to hear about - availibility of the needed drivers - their (practical) compatibility to (eg. perl DBI, python DB-API 2.0, etc.) - stability - and what else someone has experienced I already was an php.net, python.org, perl.org, zope.org - I guess I know whats available. It looks to me as if the support for IDS is not so strong, so I am really interested in real experience somebody had rather that what you can read in the READMEs. If you stopped using IDS together with P..., please tell me why and what db (other than mySQL, thats allready running here) are you using instead. If some Informix/IBM people are around: Are there any contributions planned or in progress for the 3 P's by Informix/IBM? Where can I find online information about it? If you respond to this posting, please send a CC to my email-address too. Thanks for your efforts in advance Regards Thomas Volkmar Worm
