Hi -
I took a look around and was unable to find a Perl DBI driver for
PostgreSQL... does one exist that I'm missing? If not, which of the three
drivers at cpan.org is the best (please no wars :)

Phil,

I use DBI and DBD-Pg. For char mode and CGI. Works well.

DBD-Pg, at rev 0.93 last I looked at the CPAN archives. For some
bizarre reason it's not listed on the index page about DBI drivers,
but you can find it if you search by module name.

Thanks for the info all... I couldn't believe it didn't exist, but now I
know why I couldn't find it.

Thanks again!
