Er...why not? That's what psql uses. As for those advocating using a
custom C program written using libpq - that's basically what
DBI/DBD::Pg ends up being! Only with a shiny Perl outside and years
of real-world testing and usage.

I'm still *very* interested in making a libpq-less pure perl driver,
if anyone feels like funding it, let me know! :)
