Forgive me for being such an amateur, where do I type that? From a fresh Windows Command Prompt (after clearing the cpan directory), these are the steps I take: `1) Run cmd from Start->Run 2) type "path %path%;C:\Program-Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\lib" (or whatever + your path is) and hit enter 3) type "cpan" and hit enter 4) type "install DBD::Pg" and hit enter (it'll fetch the files from CP +AN) 5) type "C:\Program-Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin\pg_config.exe" (wherever +the pg_config.exe is located) and it enter` [download] Still get the "No libpq libraries were detected!" message :(	[reply] [d/l]

I don't get any new window popup. This is all in the Windows command line. The output is the same as the above post: ...

well i added it to the path. You can modify environment variables for the command-line's session: path = %path%;c:\Program-Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\lib Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. I even set up a new directory: c:\Progs, which points to Program Files and same problem.	[reply]
