Maintainers,
Perhaps this email should go to ActiveState but I figured I would let
you know and see what you suggest.

If after installing the latest version of Pg (8.4.1 I believe) for
Win32 using the "one-click" installation and then using the current
version of ActiveState's Perl (5.10.1 I believe) to install DBD::Pg,
you will get an error about a missing dll when trying:

perl -MDBD::Pg

The fix was simple (after much gnashing of teeth) - add C:\Program
Files\Postgresql\bin (or the appropriate path to the bin directory) to
PATH.

Note that it does not say lib or include.

I am not the only one who recently encountered this issue - see

http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=793734

If you think everyone would be better served if I took this up with
ActiveState please let me know.  I know the README.win32 indicates it
is out of date but any pointer may help someone not so willing to turn
their teeth into dust :-)

Cheers and thanks for such a great module,
Joshua Gatcomb
