My experience has been that the 1.3x line of DBD::Pg is just plain
broken.  On one server running under mod_perl, all placeholder
substituted values were NULL by the time they reached postgres.  I've
had other issues with the quote() method returning undef.
Unfortunately those bugs were "not reproduced" even with the full test
cases by the devlopment team.

For my money I'm sticking with DBD::Pg 1.22 since it is completely
stable for me.
