We've heard reports of that before. Apparently, the low-level
interfaces to Perl have changed incompatibly in the recent past
(between 5.004 something and 5.005 something I think).

We have been looking for a Perl guru who knows how to make Pg.pm
work under both older and newer Perls --- breaking back revs to
work with the latest doesn't seem particularly appealing :-(

Know any Perl gurus?

Are you sure it's not 5.005 something? 5.004_04 is what I'm using here,
and it seems perfectly happy with the current Pg.pm. The folks who
reported this error before were using bleeding-edge Perls...
