Thread: Perl and Python modules problem
hi everyone i have just downloaded the latest version of postgresql and was doing the installation according to the article at http://www.faqs.org/docs/ppbook/x486.htm when i got to the point where the perl and python modules are to be installed. the distribution used in that article is an older version of postgresql and i cant seem to find where the perl and python modules are in the current release. when it didnt work for me i just skipped that part but now im trying to reload a database which uses the perl modules. the relevant piece from the installation is below. does anyone know which commands would work for the current version and how i could egt the modules installed? thanks paul Example 2-11.

About the perl interfaces (Pg.pm and DBD::Pg), see the last article at the 50th issue of General Bits, http://www.varlena.com/varlena/GeneralBits/50.php They are not part of the main distribution anymore. -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]dcc.uchile.cl>) "En las profundidades de nuestro inconsciente hay una obsesiva necesidad de un universo lógico y coherente.
