Hi all,
I am in the process of installing SQL-Ledger. I am unfamiliar with Postgres not with Perl.
I downloaded DBD-Pg from http://www.edmund-mergl.de/export/ and found out it doesn’t install on Active perl 5.8.
So I started my search for a solution. On the website of SQL-Ledger it says to uninstall Perl 5.8, install 5.6, install the driver and install Perl 5.8.
No, as I already had quite a setup on my machine, I decided to skip the ppm install and do it myself. So I put the files in place, created the pkg and packlist files and … it almost worked.
The connection to the database fails because it cannot load the pg.dll. Looking into that I found that this dll refers directly to perl56.dll which of course is part of ActivePerl 5.6 which I have not installed. So I patched the dll and again got a little further. No more error messages about failing to load a dll. Now a real connect error pops up, which I have no idea to work at.

Any help is appreciated.
