Since COPY is PostgreSQL specific and DBD/DBI is supposed to be generic, I
don't think there's an easy way and you wouldn't be doing yourselves any
favours anyway.
If you insist on using COPY then you can use our native "Pg" Perl module,
which has functions equivalent to libpq's getline() and putline(), which
are necessary to handle COPY input and output. In the psql source code
(src/bin/psql/*.c) there are two functions called handleCopy{In|Out} that
handle this correctly, but I suspect in Perl it might be a lot easier
since you don't have to worry about memory allocation.
Good luck.
