No, it wants the shared perl library, libperl.so. It probably just couldn't find it; you'll have to do a search for it, then pass a --with-libraries option to configure to point to the directory it's in. That being said, if you've already installed DBI and DBD::Pg you probably don't need PostgreSQL's --with-perl option. You'll only need it if you want Perl stored procedure support in the database itself. > Do I have to do anything else to get Perl and PostgreSQL to work > together.. Such as another Perl Library or a Link..?? Work together in what way? DBI and DBD::Pg are for accessing a PostgreSQL database; once those are installed and working you can talk to a PostgreSQL database to your heart's content. What other kind of working together did you have in mind?
