in reply to Need help in Perl and postgreSQL instalation on Win32 to work together

Run:

ppm search DBI

Look for one with pg in it for PostgreSQL, and then install it via:

ppm install DBI-pg

Or are you looking for programming help/documentation?

HTH.

Walking the road to enlightenment... I found a penguin and a camel on the way.....
