Try

Not sure if there are a lot of dependency issues going to Pg 7.4 as I'm in
the process upgrading to 7.4 and all it's friends.

One other issue that comes when installing DBI and/or DBD is the from the
current (1.31) README file.

INSTALLATION:
-------------

By default Makefile.PL uses App:Info to find the location of the
PostgreSQL library and include directories. However, if you want to
control it yourself, define the environment variables POSTGRES_INCLUDE
and POSTGRES_LIB, or POSTGRES_HOME. Note that if you've compiled
PostgreSQL with SSL support, you must define the POSTGRES_LIB
environment varable and add "-lssl" to it, like this:

export POSTGRES_LIB="/usr/local/pgsql/lib -lssl"

...

Good luck to us both.
