There is no DBD::Pg @INC. I checked:

`perl MDBD::Pg -e l'

which returned the usual 'can't locate...'.

Not at all. Thanks for your input :-)

Perl's my strong suit, it's Postgres that I'm new at ;-)

I'm running Perl 5.8.0 on Mac OS X 10.1.5 which required a lot of modules to be re-installed for 5.8.0 to install. So,
I'min the middle of swapping from MySQL -> PostgreSQL and having recompile Perl mods too.

Phil.
