Ack! I hope this isn't true. Think about it: My development machine has
the latest and greatest PostgreSQL installed (along with
Perl/DBI/dbish), I'm testing the difference between PostgreSQL 7.2 and
7.3 in my application. Time to connect with the production server to
research a difference (the 7.2 base).
Do I need to maintain two copies of DBD::Postgres (or DBD::Pg ... not
sure of the new name) one compiled for 7.2 and one for 7.3?
I understand the pain of supporting different functions for different
versions.
