My guess for installing DBD for any database is you at least need a client
install - libraries, headers.

But postgresql is actually quite easy to install, doesn't take tons of
space, plus there's no cost or licensing problem, so I just install the
whole thing.

Whereas I had a tough time installing DBD for Oracle a couple of years ago.

Cheerio,
