COPY can be used with DBD::Pg, per a script I use: $dbh->do( "COPY temp_obs_$band ( $col_list ) FROM stdin" ); $dbh->func( join ( "\t", @data ) . "\n", 'putline' ); $dbh->func( "\\.\n", 'putline' ); $dbh->func( 'endcopy' ); With sets of data from 1000 to 8000 records, my COPY performance is consistent at ~10000 records per second.
