Your line 
$type_name = %{$dbh->type_info(%{$item}->{TYPE})}->{TYPE_NAME}

[download]
almost worked fine...

I get 

Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at that line

when gets DATE or TIME data types.

On the other hand, I get type=text when expecting type=varchar

What am I missing here?

--------UPDATE----------------

Actually, it was with NUMERIC data types, not DATE nor TIME.
For these, I get TYPE=bytea, instead DATE or TIME.

But, if I change the line to 

$type_name = %{$dbh->type_info(%{$item}->{TYPE})}->{SQL_DATETIME_SUB};

[download]
or 
$type_name = %{$dbh->type_info(%{$item}->{TYPE})}->{SQL_DATA_TYPE};

I get NULL values.

From the DBD::Pg documentation, I read "Information is only provided for SQL datatypes and for frequently used datatypes."
Question: are DATE and TIME so infrequently used datatypes like that?

Isn't there any better way to get all information about DB tables?
