Dear most esteemed Monks:


It seems that having started to learn computers at 40, I have achieved much, but am still 10 years behind...even with having travelled beyond learning the shell, beyond the stones of configuring apache and the routers and authentication, through the pits of installing psql, into the waters of perl and over the peaks of running CGI scripts.


Now it seems that I am at a 'finish line', to use western-speak, and simply need to connect the Apache user account to psql through the DBD::Pg module. It has occurred to me in this final project that there is a natural balance between the desire of men to do good and the good that men receive from the efforts. And whether it is due to my own impatience, or innate uncontrolled anger, or perhaps frustrated paranoia, or maybe lack of cunning or intelligence, or perhaps simply being a young soul, that I wonder, is it really worth installing DBD::Pg in the first place? Of course, that portends the future which is something no man can know.


So perhaps it would be better to pursue a more narrow path and ask, which file or files, precisely, must be discoverable by @INC when trying to use DBD:Pg and having installed the latest O-Reilly DBI and version DBD-Pg-3.3.0 on MacOSX? It may bode ill for me that these modules may have already been on my system, had I not removed them. But again, perhaps they are still there. That which seems gone is often not always gone.
