We've seen a couple reports of this sort of problem that were due to
trying to use a copy of Pg.so that was compiled against a different
version of Perl.  It seems the Perl guys have been changing the
binary-level interface for loadable modules recently :-(.

You may need to build the Perl module locally in order to get a copy
that works with the version of Perl you have.
