Perl and PostgreSQL 7.1.2 a DBI Connection

I'm not sure I understand what you want really. If you want to
access postgres with perl through DBI, you don't need to compile postgres
with that option. That is meant for bulding funcions in a procedural
language based on perl. In the last case, you need to recompile perl and
--enable-shared. But I don't think this is the case, so you already got what
you need.

Hope it helps

When I ran ./configure on PostgreSQL
7.1.2 I did so --with-perl
but make reported It could not
install because Perl libraries
were not shared.. I assume it wanted
me to have the Perl static
installed and linked.. Right or
wrong??
SQL...

So I installed the above DBD and DBI
after the PostgreSQL install..

Question ?? Do I have to do anything
else to get Perl and PostgreSQL
to work together.. Such as another
Perl Library or a Link..??
