If your use directive in your perl routine states:

use DBI;

And you are getting stderr complaining about missing Pg in @INC
then you are missing DBD::Pg.  Grab it from CPAN and do a build.
This presumes you have the prerequisite: DBI.pm

   Apache ---> DBI.pm --->  DBD::Pg (Pg.pm) ---> Postgres
                |<------ Perl ---------->|

Obviously I have a great future behind me in cartography but I
think you get the idea:  DBI is a generic interface that uses
a specific driver to access Pg.  DBI and DBD are perl modules.

Good hunting,
