Hi, I assume this is ActivePerl on Windows?
If you open the Package Manager and add the repository wxPerl (it is in the drop - down list ) you will find DBD::Pg 2.17.2 available. I shall build 2.18 in the next couple of weeks and post here when available. Regards Mark On 15/04/2011 20:48, Lawrence Hixson wrote:
Hello! I sit on The Perl Foundation's Steering Committee as the Donor Relations Chair and I may have meet some of you at previous YAPC's. First, I want to personally THANK YOU ALL for supporting Perl and the Perl Community with your programming skills! Secondly, I thank you for supporting PostgreSQL, which I'm anxious to use with my version of Perl! I've just recently started trying to work with PostgreSQL and want the full capabilities (or the most I can get) of the database using Perl, but I'm forced to use ActiveState by my employer for various security and IT policy reasons. I'm running ActivePerl 5.12.2 and cannot find your driver using their PPM module installer. More research yields this: http://code.activestate.com/ppm/DBD-Pg/ and clicking on red ! buttons shows why. I notice that this driver is not available for ANY recent ActiveState version and I think it should be. I found this same situation was true for DBD-mysql, but I intervened and connected the module author and ActiveState and at least now the ActiveState DBD-mysql driver has some working versions that can be installed and work fine! Please see http://code.activestate.com/ppm/DBD-mysql/ Not just for myself, but for the greater ActiveState Perl community, may I please ask for your assistance in working with ActiveState to school them on how to get your module to compile for their module repositories so more of us can use PostgreSQL more fully? These are two GREAT people at ActiveState who can either help you or direct you to those who can help to get your module working with ActivePerl ! Jan Dubois at [email protected] Jeff Hobbs at [email protected] If I can be of any other assistance to you, please email me! I plan to attend YAPC::NA 2011 in Asheville, North Carolina, USA. I hope some of you will be attending! Sincerely, Lawrence K. Hixson Principal Systems Engineer/DBA U.S. National Weather Service Silver Spring, Maryland, USA 301-713-0022 x190
