Ok, then you're 99% done.

Maybe you could start by posting your working perl code
and then people on the list can help you transpose
that to the relevant Catalyst parts/plugins?

Just an idea.

Here is my perl script that connects:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use DBI;
use DBD::DB2::Constants;
use DBD::DB2;

$db="dbname";
$hostname="server.fqdn";
$port="55555";
$user="user";
$pass="password";
$string = "dbi:DB2:DATABASE=$db; HOSTNAME=$hostname; PORT=$port; 
PROTOCOL=TCPIP;";

if ($dbh = DBI->connect($string, $user, $pass)) {
        print "Success!";
} 
else {
        print "Connection failed with error: $DBI::errstr";
}

I am trying to use the MyApp_create.pl script to create the db model and 
pull in the entire existing schema, but cannot get the script to function 
correctly, it either will not connect or gives an error about not finding 
the db on the "filesystem". Yet the above script indicates success when 
run from the same VM I am using for Catalyst.
