I don't know if the module has been updated for PG7.0 or not, but the
standard way of doing this is through the Perl DBI (database interface).
There is an O'Reilly book called Programming the Perl DBI which is very
clear and covers the topic in pretty good depth. There are also several
good online resources, the URLs of which I can't recall. Several of them
were mentioned in the comments of a recent review of Programming the Perl
DBI on Slashdot (http://slashdot.org).
