Hello gents,

You can run the `default' perl interface that comes bundled with PostgreSQL
or you can do as I did...Edmund recommended to me that I run the DBD-Pg
module as its syntax is less like libpq and more like traditional perl
and/or Embedded SQL/C.

If you dial up www.panix.com/~dbindex.html I have links to sunsite uk
where you can grab Tim Bunce's latest DBI and Edmund's DBD-Pg.
We also have the binaries if you run slackware...

Cheers,
Tom
