Check the following:
1 - Pg.pm is in your @INC, and has permissions sufficient for the user
executing the perl script to read it.
2 - have you tried perl -e shell -MCPAN as root, and then typing
"install DBD::Pg"?
3 - If you're running your perl script through a webserver, try also
running from command line & see what errors you get
4 - Try a simple perl script, eg perl -e 'use Pg; print "done\n";' and
see if that too gives problems
5 - verify the existance and permissions of Pg.so - it needs to be in
@INC as well, and I *think* it needs 755 perms.
6 - check your versions of Postgres & Pg.
7 - post short sample script and full complete errors if the above fails
