Hello support,
I do not understand why I would need to completely install Postgre on my
server to connect to a remote Postgre server.
Can you help me w/ this? I am trying to run 'install DBD::Pg' using CPAN and
it is asking me for the "Path to pg_config".
Is there some other way I can install DBD:Pg without having to install a
full version of Postgre on my machine? I would think I wouldn't have to
have Postgre on my local machine to connect to another Postgre DB on an
external machine.
Please help!

Well CPAN is trying to compile DBD::Pg from source. You don't even need a
complete Postgres install for that, just the development libraries. You don't
explain what operating system you're using but for example most Linux
distributions have a separate package for the development libraries.
Alternatively if your operating system has it you could install a precompiled
DBD::Pg packages instead of compiling from source. On Debian it's called
libdbd-pg-perl for example.
