Github Ticket (orig.) https://github.com/metacpan/metacpan-web/issues/2266

I have been unable to install the updated version 3.10.4 of DBD::Pg using either:
C:\>cpan DBD::Pg
cpan>install DBD::Pg

I followed the README instructions for Strawberry Perl regarding setting Windows ENVVARS for PostgreSQL and exporting DLL symbols from 'libpq.dll', but it still fails with the following errors:

dbdimp.o:dbdimp.c:(.text+0x479): undefined reference to 'PQstatus'<br>
<...etc...etc...>

as per the StackOverflow ticket details.

Doeth anyone carry in their habit a shucking knife?

Your grace is humble sought,
One who possesseth knowledge gaps.
