DBD::Pg and Pg.pm are completely different. The former is the Postgres
driver for DBI, the later is a Perl interface to libpq. The file you
have installed is the later, but your code is trying to use the
former.

To install DBD::Pg, download it from CPAN. Alternatively, use Pg.pm
instead -- see `perldoc Pg` for more info (although I would recommend
DBI, it's nicer IMHO).
