Wanted to add more specifics. Here is the actual code that generated the
error:

my $result = $conn->exec($select);

if ($result->resultStatus != PGRES_TUPLES_OK)
{
    $error = $conn->errorMessage;
         die "Error: <$error> Failed: <$select>";
}

So you're saying this select request failing would not be logged to the
postgres database log?
