Pg.pm is in fact supported and maintained. For postgres-only work, I
think it's much nicer than DBI, because you don't have the
abstraction layer the benefits of which you're going to throw away by
tying tightly to the database engine anyway.

I'd be leery of this, because Nagios's event handling is slightly
underdetermined in when any event will in fact run. It's adaptive,
which means if you have a lot of other things happening, your job
might not run exactly on time.
