Thread: install question
Hi: Haven't searched the list for threads on this topic. However, since the install info seems to be dated, and maybe this is a good place for a quick reminder, my question: In the install, it says: As of 0.38.0, the Perl Client module is distributed as a separate package. It is named "Mon-*.tar.gz". As of 4-Mar-2000, the most recent distribution is Mon-0.9.tar.gz. Refer to that for installation instructions. Well, CPAN couldn't find it. I went to CPAN and found Mon-0.9.tar.gz, but it "doesn't exist" when I tried to download. So, - - - what's the present situation? Thanks, Tom

Which Perl client are you talking about and what install doc are you
looking at? There are two Perl modules that PostgreSQL uses, The 'native'
one, Pg.pm, v 1.8, and the DBI driver, DBD::Pg, ver 0.96, both of which
are available on CPAN. The 'native' version is also packaged with the
main source tree and can be installed as part of the PostgreSQL source
build.

Never use "etc." -- it makes people think there is more where there is not
or that there is not space to list it all, etc.

It lists modules to download, and then references the above quote.

ANS: Either I am moving in the wrong direction, here, or haven't come across anything about the above Perl modules, yet.

What is that? The Mon package you saw on CPAN is a Network monitoring
package. Is that what you are looking for? It's version is 0.11.

You have taken yourself too seriously.
