i would like to connect to a remote postgresql 8.1
server using a perl script. The machine i'm trying to
connect from is running Debian and perl v5.6.1. In
order to connect to the remote postgresql server i
assume i need DBI as well as DBD::Pg. well the DBI
installation went well but when i try to install
DBD::Pg this is what it gives me:

debian:/usr/local/src/DBD-Pg-1.40# perl Makefile.PL
Configuring Pg
Remember to actually read the README file!
Path to pg_config?
OS: linux
PostgreSQL version: ..

****************
WARNING! DBD::Pg no longer supports versions less than
7.2.
It is highly recommended that you upgrade PostgreSQL
to a newer version.
****************

Using DBI 1.47 (for perl 5.006001 on i386-linux)
installed in /usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1/auto/DBI/
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lpq
Using DBI 1.47 (for perl 5.006001 on i386-linux)
installed in /usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1/auto/DBI/
Writing Makefile for DBD::Pg

Do i even need DBD::Pg installed on the machine which
is trying to access the postgresql server through a
perl script? if so why is the very first step i.e.
"perl Makefile.pl" failing? if no, how do i connect to
the server and run queries using perl?

thanks in advance for all ur help.

Gokul
