Perl DBI + DBD:Pg driver is the most widely used, and probably the best way.

I use the Pg module. I couldn't get DBI to work, perhaps due to my lack of
skill.

I use the DBI module, and really recommend it. If you use Pg to code,
and later want to change the underlying database, you will need to
recode the whole project. If you use DBI, you may get away with
changing just one line.

assuming you use standard sql in your selects and stuff. i really like
alot of postgreses operators. so in reality you would probably have to
change more than one line, but not nearly as much if you use only the pg
module.
