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. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's PostGIS support! ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
