For future reference: IIRC the instruction in that book are for
installing the Pg module, which is a low level wrapper to libpq and NOT
a DBI module.

If you're wondering what it has over DBI... just a more verbose and
closer to libpq syntax. Unlike some low level drivers I don't think this
one gives any finer control than you can get with the DBD:Pg one (it's a
wrapper for libpq as well). I'd personally suggest DBI for the
consistant interface across DBMSs.
