What version of DBD::Pg are you using? There was a fix put in for a bug

Properly reset transaction status after failed transaction when
autocommit is off. Properly report transaction failure message.

I have been using 7.3 since the end of november, and I have not had any
problems with transactions, BTA this is just a development envionment.

What are you seeing? Do you have any sample code? Maybe a trace?
