DBD::Pg is under either the GNU GPL or the Artistic License -- GPL is not
compatible with the BSD-licensed main PostgreSQL distribution, but I don't know
about the Artistic License.
If you are running RedHat Linux, you can get DBI and DBD::Pg RPMs that simply
plug in to the existing installation and just _run_.
My personal preference would be to simply drop the perl Pg interface
altogether, and point those interested in perl interfacing to DBI and DBD::Pg,
but I am resigned to the likely fact that the Pg interface is likely to be
around for a very long time.
