Before you can use DBI with PostgreSQL, the PostgreSQL database server
must be running on your computer or some other computer you can access
over the network. What you need are the DBI and DBD-Pg perl modules. I
generally install it by downloading it from the CPAN website or using
RPM packages(under Red Hat Linux) so I can't tell you much about the
usage of the CPAN.pm module.

You can get them from the PostgreSQL website downloads I think.
