$conn =pg::connectdb("dbname=test");
die $conn->errorMessage unless PGRES_CONNECTION_OK eq $conn->status;

print "Enter User name :"
$username = <STDIN>;
chomp $username;

$result = $conn->exec(
"SELECT firstname,lastname,state,city,age from friends WHERE firstname =

The error message tells you that perl does not find the pg.pm file.
Maybe you should try Pg (with capital P) instead of pg; or, if that
does not help, use find to look where the file resides and put it into
one of the directories mentioned in the error message, or augment @INC
to contain the relevant directory.

HTH,

Albert.
