Hi,

I'm having a problem that i couldn't get rid yet. I've installed all the
postgres 6.5 ok, and it's working very well. But i can't compile the perl
interface. Returns the following:

$ make

You can probably get the perl5 interface to compile against newer Perls
if you do "perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1", then make.  Better yet, update
to Postgres 7.0.*, where that's done for you.
