DBD::Pg & DBD::PgPP Cpan question
All,
I have noticed that they have replaced DBD::Pg with DBD::PgPP in cpan. Also if you use windows PPM that you can't get DBD::Pg that way.. only DBD::PgPP.. I understand the difference between the two modules.. but is it really a replacement.. or 2 different modules.. in my mind its two different modules.. and they should both be listed. Has DBD::PgPP been tested?

"They" haven't been doing anything of the sort, I hope ;-).
http://cpan.org/modules/by-module/DBD/
has the latest DBD::Pg version ...

They are very different modules. I have no idea about DBD::PgPP though.

DBD::PgPP is a "Pure Perl" driver -- Which I believe the author means there
are no compiled C libraries in his implementation .. I dont think that using
PgPP because it has a ppd file is a good excuse for using it...
DBD::Pg is the DBD:Pg that we all know and love...

I understand they are different.. and I know how to manually find them.. but they took DBD::Pg out of the main list.. and if you use ppm on a activestate box it also does not give you the choice to load DBD::Pg anymore... only DBD::PgPP. The DBD::PgPP doesn't need the pgsql libraries installed to use it.. I've testing it on a windows box and am getting ready to test it on a hpux box. If it works then it is much simpler to install on a hpux box cause you don't need the libraries.

Which "they" and which "main list" do you mean exactly?
Actually I would recommend asking the dbi-users list,
http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=dbi-users
there are people there who know more about Windows Perl
issuses than I do...

They would be whoever maintains the cpan web site.. the main list is the module list.

Dunno what you're seeing, but the database as of Jan 28 on CPAN has
both:
cpan> m DBD::Pg
Module id = DBD::Pg
CPAN_USERID DWHEELER (David Wheeler <david@wheeler.net>)
CPAN_VERSION 1.21
CPAN_FILE D/DW/DWHEELER/DBD-Pg-1.21.tar.gz
INST_FILE (not installed)
cpan> m DBD::PgPP
Module id = DBD::PgPP
DESCRIPTION Pure Perl PostgreSQL driver for the DBI
CPAN_USERID OYAMA (OYAMA Hiroyuki <hoyama@infoware.ne.jp>)
CPAN_VERSION 0.04
CPAN_FILE O/OY/OYAMA/DBD-PgPP-0.04.tar.gz
DSLI_STATUS bdpO (beta,developer,perl,object-oriented)
INST_FILE (not installed)
It's in the CPAN index, so it should be on the CPAN site. If not, it
is a web site bug.
