Re: DBI module for postgres 1.4.3

You can also give a try to DBD::PgPP !

Yes, perl(DBI) is the canonical way to connect to a database
from Perl. You will need the DBD::Pg driver too.
Both modules can be obtained from CPAN (e.g. http://www.cpan.org),
maybe there are even binary packages for your operating
system available.
I'd use the latest stable version.
