No, DBD::Pg escapes everything with double quotes instead of a backslash,
and uses its own escaping routines, not the libpq ones. Therefore, the
existing version (latest is 1.49) should work just fine against recent
version of Postgres. However, a new version is being actively written that
will have better handling of utf-8 content in general, and as part of its
development we'll be doing heavy testing to make absolutely sure that
DBD::Pg is not affected by the recent discoveries. Watch this list of
monitor www.planetpostresql.org for updates.
