this probably means that the package containing the
old Pg module has not been installed. have you checked
if such a CentOS package exists ?

for example in debian, this modules comes with the

this certainly does not Solve any problem, as this would fool perl into
loading the module DBD::Pg instead of Pg.

you should not do this, as this may well interfere with
the operation of the correct Pg module if you manage to
install it from a rpm ,or by source as suggested by
Bruno below.
