Figures.  It appears that DBD::Pg doesn't supported nested transactions (I was
already in a transaction).

DBD::Pg::db begin_work failed: Already in a transaction at
/tass/bin/importSList.pl line 445.

Unfortunatly, it does take longer overall because of the second index on the
table, but it always works ;-)  'Nother duh moment, delete the second index,
and then it works just fine speed wise.  Guess I need to re-examine my index
usage...

Thanks,
Rob
