I don't know a lot of detail about how DBD::Pg works, but I do know that
during installation (whether from tarball or CPAN, which I think is the best
way to install perl modules), it requires the path of your postgres libraries
and includes - so I guess it depends on a postgres installation on the local
machine.

What are you trying to accomplish, exactly?
