Re: Installing DBD::Pg on Strawberry Perl

In the process of natively win32 compiling DBD::Pg 2.0 I have run into 
that problem, myself. The solution is to edit Makefile.PL and change...

DBI::DBD::dbd_postamble
to
DBI::DBD->dbd_postamble

If there are any more win32 surprises, well, besides the fact that I 
don't have strings.h, I won't know until this weekend when I have time 
to finish this feat. So in the mean time, good luck and hope it's 
downhill from here :)

Kudos to GSM, btw. The wait was *well* worth it. The async and array 
handling features are just plain sweet.
