You are 100% correct. The line forcing IDENT authentication was
uncommented (and unseen) in the configuration file. I commented it out and
everything worked well. Thanks!

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.
