Argh! Forgot the most important point --- the install procedure is
still missing anything about installing the Perl module. Recommend
adding the following, or something much like it, just after the
primary install step (between items 15 and 16, currently):

<Step Performance="optional">
<Para>
If you used the <option>--with-perl</option> option to configure, check
the install log to see whether the Perl module was actually installed.
If you've followed our advice to make the Postgres files be owned by
an unprivileged userid, then the Perl module won't have been installed,
for lack of write privileges on the Perl library directories. You can
complete its installation, either now or later, by su'ing to the user that
does own the Perl library (often root) and doing
<ProgramListing>
$ cd /usr/src/pgsql/src/interfaces/perl5
$ gmake install
</ProgramListing>
</Para>
</Step>

regards, tom lane
