hi everyone
i have just downloaded the latest version of
postgresql and was doing the installation according to
the article at
http://www.faqs.org/docs/ppbook/x486.htm when i got to
the point where the perl and python modules are to be
installed. the distribution used in that article is an
older version of postgresql and i cant seem to find
where the perl and python modules are in the current
release. when it didnt work for me i just skipped that
part but now im trying to reload a database which uses
the perl modules. the relevant piece from the
installation is below. does anyone know which commands
would work for the current version and how i could egt
the modules installed?
thanks
paul

About the perl interfaces (Pg.pm and DBD::Pg), see the last article at
the 50th issue of General Bits,
http://www.varlena.com/varlena/GeneralBits/50.php

They are not part of the main distribution anymore.

You should read the installation instructions contained in the package
that you are actually installing, not a version that appears to be
dated 3 major releases back.
