in reply to In need of Perl/PostgreSQL tutorials

merlyn just published his first 'public' foray into PostgreSQL in the December issue of Linux Magazine it is a good read. merlyn, as usual, finds a unique problem that quickly gets you pushing in the clutch and shifting gears.

Besides buying it will help pay for his next date. :)

    I have postgres running in 2 locations
    One is local for developing and testing purposes
    The other is used as a web server.
    I get the above error on the web server even though I have a postgres user set up. I will check the environmental variables but I am pretty sure they are set. Since I can use createuser what do I need to do to specify a password to connect with (using a shell not a script)?

    Hope my question makes sense.
