Your postmaster is not using a TCP/IP connection, it is using Unix sockets. psql is connecting using a Unix socket. The -p 7000 is spurious. Use 'postmaster -D data -i -p 7000' instead. However, DBD::Pg can connect via Unix sockets. The problem is probably some directory or file permission errors. Check your .conf files. Regards, Jeffrey
