This maybe a silyy question but why not use the .debs ???
I have:
libdbd-pg-perl
libecpg3
libpgperl
libpgsql2.1
libpgtcl
task-database-pg

That gives me postgres and the perl dbi interface to postgres.  I don't know
anything about mod_perl BUT I shoul imagine that if DBI works then mod_perl
will as well.


Sorry if I'm missing the point.

Yours Tony.
