Simple question.

I have Postgresql 7.4 on Debian Stable.  I built 8.1.3 from source
and installed in /usr/local.

I noticed when connecting with DBD::Pg to the new database it was
looking for the socket in /var/run/postgresql instead of /tmp.  I
assume that's because my DBD::Pg is linked with the libpq from Debian.

My question is: should I rebuild DBD::Pg to use the newer libpq
library?

Any noticeable/notable changes between libpq.so.3.1 and libpq.so.4.1
with regard to DBD::Pg?  And will the change create any problems for
code that may still connect to the 7.4 database with DBD::Pg?
