Oops ... should be /usr/lib/Perl5/DBD/Pg.pm

packages installed are
libdbi-perl 1.41-1
libdbd-pg-perl 1.32-1

On my current machine I installed a symlink some time ago and
this points to the old version of Pg.pm. The symlink is found
early in any search by a perl script, hence the new version
of Pg.pm is not found. However, I am moving my stuff onto a
new machine. This does not have the symlink, but the new Pg.pm
is found and will not work with my scripts.

The solution seems to be to convert the scripts on the new
machine and to run my current setup until ready to change
over.

Thanks for your reply.
