NAME
    DBD::PgPP - Pure Perl PostgreSQL driver for the DBI

SYNOPSIS
      use DBI;

      my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:PgPP:dbname=$dbname', '', ''');

      # See the DBI module documentation for full details

DESCRIPTION
    DBD::PgPP is a Pure Perl client interface for the PostgreSQL database.
    This module implements network protocol between server and client of
    PostgreSQL, thus you don't need external PostgreSQL client library like
    libpq for this module to work. It means this module enables you to
    connect to PostgreSQL server from some operation systems which
    PostgreSQL is not ported. How nifty!
