Look for info on Perl DBI, which is the standard object-oriented database module for Perl (can be found at cpan.org). Most modern Unix/Linux servers have DBI installed by default, though. (try typing 'perldoc DBI')

Then, all you need is the specific database package for PostgreSQL, which you can find among all the others at http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/DBD/. The current latest version is http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modul...Pg-1.22.tar.gz

a piece of the DBI module includes the functions to access postgreSQL from a perl program. PostgreSQL itseslf has to be running on the computer; it's just a library

rycamor says (try typing 'perldoc DBI') you should be ok; are you using *nix or windows?
