Thread: Re: perl installation problem and installation of postgres from rpms
I don't remember what the errors I received were. I'll take a look at it
tonight and write tomorrow. How do I go about installing the DBD::Pg module?

What precise errors did you get on the build of the Perl module.
You might want to also look into installing DBD::Pg for use with DBI. I
usually use that rather than the 'native' Pg module.

Best way is to use CPAN and get the main DBI module there, and any drivers you want to use (Pg, mysql, etc.) You should read up on how DBI works before you use it. -- Brett
