Re: Installing DBD::Pg module without Pg Database server

Samik,
I've found that DBD::Pg wants to be built on a machine with the postgresql
devel stuff on it. My suggestion would be to build it on the machine that
has the db on it, and then just copy the .pm onto the other machines.
Thanks,
Peter Darley

It has been a while since I used Perl to interface with PostgreSQL,
but I can guarantee you that it is possible to install DBD::Pg on one
machine and access another machine running PostgreSQL. I still have
several boxes that do precisely that.

You need to install DBI and DBD::Pg. Check out CPAN for more
information.
