FWIW: there are DBD::Pg windows ppms at pgFoundry (lots of other PostgreSQL goodies on pgFoundry, btw )

Copy into a local directory and give that directory to ppm as a repository to install ( for instance file:///c:/downloads/DBD-Pg-binaries )

It works for me; I use it regularly.

Oh and btw - DBD::Pg 2.0 wil be coming out RSN ( developer version 2.0.0_5 is on CPAN now, which works fine too ).

I'm having the same trouble and wondering if you have any other ideas. I took your advice and am running the latest pg_foundry (2.0.0) ppm as well as latest Pg (8.3.3) and Activestate 5.8.x (522). But I'm still having the issue. I don't have a better trace than the others, but I think I do know the type of behavior that is causing the problem. I've been running various load and stress tests, and it has only occurred when a lot of clients have killed the connections prematurely. The only evidence of this is in the pg log.

To install DBD::Pg:

on the commandline, you should be able to do:

ppm install http://pgfoundry.org/frs/download.php/1639/DBD-Pg-5.8.ppd
[download]

(or whatever version you want installed)

"same" problem? what problem? (The OP's "description" is far too opaque)

Thank you! I worked a few hours on this - your advice worked perfectly.
