Tom, et. al.
Might have been a mucked up installation here. I decided to delete
the 5.0004.04 RPM and jump up to 5.005.02 source RPM and build from scratch.
Before doing so, i did a recursive grep on the entire 5.005.02 distro and
'PL_na' was all over the place. I then re-built all my perl add-ons from
scratch, including the postgreSQL perl mod and all is fine here. I
absolutely found no references to 'PL_na' in the earlier distro (and I
grepped a couple of times, 'cause I'm still learning everything and don't
always believe what I see :-)
Anyway, I'm happy now and can continue on with my db demo at my
workplace, which is entirely MS based. It's amazing to me that a 130,000
line database returns answers quicker on UNIX(Linux)/PostgreSQL from an
ancient Cyrix 386 masqaurading as a 486 than MS Access does from a PentiumII
NT server. ( Not much quicker, but check the hardware :-)
Thanks again for all the replies and suggestions. The support here
is terrific and appreciated. Maybe I will soon be a Perl guru after all,
you never know...
Sincerely,
John C.
