Correct.

That's true, it was.

Rather than using the old contrib RPM, look in the PowerTools
directory on a Red Hat mirror site and get hold of perl-DBD-Pg from
there. You'll find it in the powertools/CPAN/CPAN_rev.2/i386
directory. This version was built with libpq.so.2.

The old contrib version was built and uploaded by me at a time when
the version shipped with the Powertools 5.2 CD was either badly out of
date or not even on the CD. Now it's no longer needed.

Best wishes,
