I have used DBI drivers for postgres abotu 6 months ago.
I dont recall the version but the postgres version was 6.5.
I got them from CPAN.
A quick look at my local CPAN mirror and it had this:
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/CPAN/authors/id/M/ME/MERGL/DBD-Pg-1.01.readme
Take off the file name and you will see teh relevant tarball.
The readme says it needs at least postgres 6.5 so it is probably worth a
try.
Pg package is for directly conenctiong to postgres, so is nto as poratable
as DBI.
