Where exactly is it failing? DBD::Pg can still talk to old server, but it is 
very, very limited in what it can do. Your best option is probably to download 
an old version of DBD::Pg. Find out what version of Postgres it is, then 
visit CPAN and see what is available in about the same time frame as that 
version of Postgres. DBD::Pg has downloads available all the way back to 
version 1.10 in 2002. You may need to download an older version of Postgres 
(libpq) to compile against as well.
