If it is some kind of CSV (text with separators) you could use DBD::CSV for reading and DBD::Pg for
writing. Or you read the file with Perl´s standard functions, treat the data to be
PostgreSQL-insert-query-compatible (regarding apostrophes for example) and then use DBD::Pg (that´s
what I usually do). If you have some kind of DBase files, you can use DBD::XBase.
