Thread: DBD::Pg & DBD::PgPP Cpan question
All,
I have noticed that they have replaced DBD::Pg with DBD::PgPP in cpan. Also if you use windows PPM that you can't
getDBD::Pg that way.. only DBD::PgPP.. I understand the difference between the two modules.. but is it really a
replacement..or 2 different modules.. in my mind its two different modules.. and they should both be listed. Has
DBD::PgPPbeen tested?

I understand they are different.. and I know how to manually find them.. but they took DBD::Pg out of the main list.. andif you use ppm on a activestate box it also does not give you the choice to load DBD::Pg anymore... only DBD::PgPP. TheDBD::PgPP doesn't need the pgsql libraries installed to use it.. I've testing it on a windows box and am getting readyto test it on a hpux box. If it works then it is much simpler to install on a hpux box cause you don't need the libraries.

Which "they" and which "main list" do you mean exactly? Actually I would recommend asking the dbi-users list, http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=dbi-users there are people there who know more about Windows Perl issuses than I do...

They would be whoever maintains the cpan web site.. the main list is the module list.

DBD::PgPP is a "Pure Perl" driver -- Which I believe the author means there are no compiled C libraries in his implementation .. I dont think that using PgPP because it has a ppd file is a good excuse for using it... DBD::Pg is the DBD:Pg that we all know and love...

Dunno what you're seeing, but the database as of Jan 28 on CPAN has
both:
cpan> m DBD::Pg
Module id = DBD::Pg
CPAN_USERID DWHEELER (David Wheeler <david@wheeler.net>)
CPAN_VERSION 1.21
CPAN_FILE D/DW/DWHEELER/DBD-Pg-1.21.tar.gz
INST_FILE (not installed)
cpan> m DBD::PgPP
Module id = DBD::PgPP
DESCRIPTION Pure Perl PostgreSQL driver for the DBI
CPAN_USERID OYAMA (OYAMA Hiroyuki <hoyama@infoware.ne.jp>)
CPAN_VERSION 0.04
CPAN_FILE O/OY/OYAMA/DBD-PgPP-0.04.tar.gz
DSLI_STATUS bdpO (beta,developer,perl,object-oriented)
INST_FILE (not installed)
It's in the CPAN index, so it should be on the CPAN site. If not, it
is a web site bug.
