FWIW, I finally got around to installing Perl5 (5.004 pl4 to
be specific), and so far the perl5 interface supplied with pgsql
seems to work fine. I only just now realized that what you
are talking about is something different ... the code included
in the distribution calls itself Pg not DBD::Pg. What versions
of everything are you using?

Of course, it will also mean that you have to maintain that code
every time we change the fe/be protocol ... there is a change
upcoming for 6.4.
