hello kind and wise monks:

I am still battling with connecting to POSTGRESQL. I managed to use PPM from the command line to install DBD-Pg-5.8.ppd. As follows:

C:\progFiles\PERL>ppm install http://pgfoundry.org/frs/download.php/16
+39/DBD-Pg-5.8.ppd
Downloading DBD-Pg-2.0...done
Unpacking DBD-Pg-2.0...done
Generating HTML for DBD-Pg-2.0...done
Updating files in site area...done
   1 file installed
   1 file unchanged
   5 files updated

C:\progFiles\PERL>cd \
[download]

Now when I run my little test program I get the following:

C:\HFAccess\devPostgresql>perl -w testDBI.pl
install_driver(Pg) failed: Can't load 'c:/progFiles/PERL/site/lib/auto
+/DBD/Pg/Pg.dll' for module DBD::Pg: load_file:The specified
procedure could not be found at c:/progFiles/PERL/lib/DynaLoader.pm li
+ne 230.
 at (eval 4) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expecte
+d
 at testDBI.pl line 16

C:\HFAccess\devPostgresql>
[download]

the file Pg.dll exists the the directory above.
I also get a dialog box that states: The procedure entry point Perl_newXS_falgs could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll

what can I say except help!

thanks
