I am attempting to install DBD::Pg on a Windows Vista Ultimate machine for my own personal use. I am retired now, but did work with database systems and expert systems. I am developing a database for some linguistic research. Because others are using Perl (but not with a database) I really need to include Perl routines in my work. I have version 8.4 of PostgreSQL and version 1.10.5 of PostgreSQL Tools. They appear to be working, except for the Perl interface.
I have downloaded DBD-Pg-2.18.1.tar.gz and have unzipped it, the result now in C:\tmp\ DBD-Pg-2.18.1. In step 1 of your instructions in “How to get working DBD::Pg on Windows” you state to use MS Visual C++. I do not have this package, but do have C and Java. Could I use C, and, if so, how would that change your instructions? Thanks for any help.
