I like this approach since it aligns with what a pre 3.6.0 version of
DBD::Pg will silently do with a current perl as well. I have been using
it this way for a couple of years and not noticed any problems.

BTW: What *was* the trigger for adding strtod() in the first place if
perl does the conversion on the fly?

Should I try my luck at a patch or is it too trivial now?
