My question refers to Perl...
I checked CPAN and there are DBI modules but
I don't see the DBD.
Are the somehow built into PostgeSQL?
I downloaded..
pgsql_perl5-1.9.0.tar.gz
Postgres-1.4.tar.gz
But neither of these tars have a DBD file..

Where did Cpan hide them? The page lists every
DBD for every Database but not PostgreSQL..

Search CPAN for DBD::Pg. Easier yet, invoke the cpan script (usually
accessible from your path) and:

cpan> i DBD::Pg

pgsql_perl5-1.9.0.tar.gz

This is a different way to access PostgreSQL via Perl. This module is
also include in the PostgreSQL distribution.

Postgres-1.4.tar.gz

This is an interface to Postgres95, not PostgreSQL.

Peter,
Thank you for the response..
Unfortunately, the urls were jammed I tried for 15 hrs ( off and on)..
Although I could find the file but only after seaching by the authors
name mergl.
CPAN is not making it easy, I am sure not intentionally, for PostgreSQL
users.

Here is where I found the files
http://dbi.symbolstone.org/ this works...May Help Others!

Once again.. Thank You

Bob T.

Yeah, we know. The only index page (that I've found) of DBD drivers
does not mention Postgres. We've beaten on the alleged maintainer of
that page, without result. Feel free to complain to the CPAN
powers-that-be ... but there's little point in complaining here, cause
we can't fix their omission.
