In perl the way to connect to any database is via dbi.pm, the database
interface.  Although I'm not sure it will work with the real specific
stuff (triggers and procedures) it works well and gives a common interface
across all database platforms.  That way, as long as you don't do
something too esoteric you can change to mySQL, Informix, Oracle, etc.
just by changing the DBI database definition.

Search on dbi postgreSQL tutorial and yo should find lots of info.
