Обсуждение: installation DBD::Pg
Hello support,
I do not understand why I would need to completely install Postgre on my server to connect to a remote Postgre server.
Can you help me w/ this? I am trying to run ‘install DBD::Pg’ using CPAN and it is asking me for the “Path to pg_config”.
Is there some other way I can install DBD:Pg without having to install a full version of Postgre on my machine? I would think I wouldn’t have to have Postgre on my local machine to connect to another Postgre DB on an external machine.
Please help!

You don't even need a complete Postgres install for that, just the development libraries. You don't explain what operating system you're using but for example most Linux distributions have a separate package for the development libraries. Alternatively if your operating system has it you could install a precompiled DBD::Pg packages instead of compiling from source. On Debian it's called libdbd-pg-perl for example. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's PostGIS support!
