Well, the perl code is thinking that the database name is
"nlog:host=cheddar" which, of course, does not exist. From the
rest of your line I'd guess you'd need to write something like
DBI connect('dbname=nlog', 'host=cheddar', ...)

Sloppily it's a bunch of PostgreSQL internal tables, many of
them starting with pg_*

It's auto-registered by "create database" unless I am
mistaken.
