Oh, looks like I know why it happens.

The tool does not expect any password prompts.

$ echo 'SELECT 1;' | psql -q -A -t -X -U postgres -P null="<NULL>"
1

It expects either trusted access (without password) or that password
will be specified as a parameter -W somesecret.

I will definitely need to fix it. My false, sorry, it is not easy to
wrap a command line tool to a fully flegged database adapter in Perl.

So either make a trusted access for the super user from the localhost
(you are working on localhost, right?) or specify  -W
theuserspassword.

Anyway I suggest to install DBD::Pg Perl module, it will work much
faster and will load the system significantly less. The psql wrapper I
was asked to implement because one of the users had a hopeless boss
who did not allowed him to install DBD::Pg.
