Hello
I've downloaded the pgsql_perl5-1.9.0.
I've decompressed, unpacked, and tried to install, but in the way, I found some errors.
The process and errors are listed below
------------
Configuring Pg
Remember to actually read the README file !
OS: linux
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Pg
Unable to open MakeMaker.tmp: Permission denied at (eval 1) line 625.
------------
I ran the process "perl Makefile.PL" with te user "postgres", not root.
Specifications:
* perl -v: version 5.005_03 built for i386-linux
* perl -V:perl5 (5.0 patchlevel 5 subversion 3)
* PostgreSQL: -6.5.3
* pgsql_perl5: -1.9.0
I will be very appreciated if you can give me a hand, is very important for me.
Best Regards
Rodrigo

I believe you should install perl as root, or at least you should have
permission to write to directories you install perl into.
This is info from INSTALL file for postgresql-6.5.3:
-------------------
...
16. If you used the --with-perl option to configure, check the install
log
to see whether the Perl module was actually installed. If you've
followed our advice to make the Postgres files be owned by an
unprivileged userid, then the Perl module won't have been installed,
for lack of write privileges on the Perl library directories. You can
complete its installation, either now or later, by becoming the user
that does own the Perl library (often root) (via su) and doing
$ cd /usr/src/pgsql/src/interfaces/perl5
$ gmake install
...
-----------------------
Thank you,
-Rita

I don't think that's his problem, because he's not even getting through
the first stage of the build:

It looks like he doesn't have write permission on the directory
containing the source files (src/interfaces/perl5), which would seem
pretty odd if he is running as the postgres user.
However I wonder what is really going on here, because the first three
lines quoted above do not come out of perl when I run "perl Makefile.PL".
I think there is another layer of software involved here that may be
messing things up...
