I have both installed on my system and actually have done some work with PgPerl because it looked a bit less complicated, and at first, I thought that this might be a more postgres-specific interface. However, in researching the mailing lists, etc, it seems that DBD:: is getting the most attention - in fact, I see little mention of PgPerl, and the PgPerl list seems rather quiet. In addition, it appears that DBD can do things that PgPerl can't. For example, I haven't been able to find an escape-string function in PgPerl, which I'm now looking to implement. Would one need to write his own escape-string for PgPerl? Is PgPerl still viable or is DBD the way to go?
