Sure looks like it thinks it should be using IDENT.  Perhaps you used to
have IDENT lines in pg_hba.conf?  If so, I'll bet you forgot to SIGHUP
the postmaster after changing the config file.  (See "pg_ctl reload" for
a convenient way to do this.)  The only other possibilities I can see
are that DBD is trying to talk to some other postmaster, or that you're
editing the wrong config file.
