Thread: Where are Perl DBI and DBD for PostgreSQL??
My question refers to Perl... I checked CPAN and there are DBI modules but I don't see the DBD. Are the somehow built into PostgeSQL? I downloaded.. pgsql_perl5-1.9.0.tar.gz Postgres-1.4.tar.gz But neither of these tars have a DBD file.. Where did Cpan hide them? The page lists every DBD for every Database but not PostgreSQL.. BOb T

Search CPAN for DBD::Pg. Easier yet, invoke the cpan script (usually accessible from your path) and: cpan> i DBD::Pg Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.

Unfortunately, the urls were jammed I tried for 15 hrs ( off and on).. Although I could find the file but only after seaching by the authors name mergl. CPAN is not making it easy, I am sure not intentionally, for PostgreSQL users. Here is where I found the files http://dbi.symbolstone.org/ this works...May Help Others! Once again.. Thank You Bob T.

Yeah, we know. The only index page (that I've found) of DBD drivers
does not mention Postgres. We've beaten on the alleged maintainer of
that page, without result. Feel free to complain to the CPAN
powers-that-be ... but there's little point in complaining here, cause
we can't fix their omission.
