interpreting encrypted data stored on DB2 using Perl

[rparimi]

Hi,

I have encrypted data stored in a table on a DB2 database. The
encryption algorithm used to store data in the table is not important.
Using a perl script and the DBI module, I was able to read the values
stored in the column into an array. However, I do not know what
transformation needs to be applied to this data (with pack or unpack
for e.g) so I can use this variable for other tasks.

When I run a select on the table from a db2 prompt, I see that an
encrypted value looks like this:

1 x'D6B6D2EE0C57ADF2'
I had a similar problem with Oracle but was able to use the extracted
encrypted data as-is without massaging it.

Thank you very much!
