to be fair there are sometimes alternate database packages for perl, the DBI/DBM arrangement works well for many things, but it's a 'least common denominator' type of interface.

for postgres there is the Pg.pm module as well as the DBI interface.

Fair? The last version of Pg.pm is from April 2000, 8 1/2 years ago.

Honestly, who would be tempted by this ancient module?
