Well, one thing (that I can think of) would be to have multiple webservers
(without postgres) connecting to a central DB server. I would've run into
this in a couple of weeks, actually, so I'm glad someone else found out
about it first. :)
I think functionality to retrieve the necessary libs ought to be built
into the installation of DBD::Pg to facilitate just such a situation...
