RE: postgres perl DBI

Silly me, I didn't even notice the mwabs504/505 difference. I had my
.profile setup for another machine. It compiled fine now. Thanks.

"Connection refused" at this stage generally means that the connect
request never got as far as the postmaster. Are you sure you are
connecting to the right machine? Your script

> /usr/local/postgres/bin/postmaster -S -i

suggests you are on mwabs505 not mwabs504.
