Re: Trying to install DBD::Pg

Tom,
This is probably not the best forum for this question. The intended  
audience are users of MacPerl on OS 9 ("Classic"), and the list is  
pretty moribund.

Try [email protected] ( I know it's active) or  dbdpg- 
[email protected] (from the DBD-Pg 1.49 README).

I've got DBD::Pg running on my G5, but I also did a full install of  
postgres, and I don't have a detailed record of what I did. I have a  
new Intel MacBook Pro, on which I am planning to install DBI and  
DBD::Pg, but I haven't done it yet and I don't have time tonight.  
I'll let you know how that goes, but I probably won't get to it until  
this weekend.

I'm confident it's doable. Sorry I can't be of more specific help  
right now.

good luck,
Chris
