The Perl package gave me the most trouble; the more so since I rarely
use Perl and only have the vaguest notion of what's going on in the pgperl
build!

Here are extracts from the Debian makefile:

HERE :=         $(shell pwd)
debtmp=         $(HERE)/debian/tmp   # pgperl package gets put in                                     #
$(debtmp)/../libpgperl

--prefix=$(HERE)/debian/tmp/usr/lib/postgresql\           --with-template=$(TEMPLATE) \           --with-tcl \
--enable-locale \           --with-pgport=5432

If you want the full works, download the Debian source package for
PostgreSQL - 6.4.2 will do (Debian's current unstable version, shortly
to be replaced by 6.5)
 >(just imagine, redhat and debian cooperating, hell must be freezing >over ;)
Just comfortably warm, thanks!
