The only other versions of Perl I know of are Vanilla and Strawberry
Perl, which come with MinGW, dmake, etc. I have never had a problem
using CPAN for DBD::Pg on those distros with the exception of Windows
Vista, pre SP1 (compatibility issue with the GCC). Though I haven't
tried to do this with DBD::Pg in a few years so there might be issues
that I am not aware of. Given how smooth the process was before,
however, I doubt it.

About a year ago, Mark Dootson kindly posted the following howto on this list.
I don't know if there is an archive to link to, so I'll just copy it:

F.Y.I.
I tried a strawberry build with success using following steps:
One file change only needed to make in DBD::Pg source is:
Makefile.PL -
add 'use DBI::DBD;'.
comment out "unlink $output->{MAKEFILE};" at line 247
set required environment:
set PATH=C:\PROGRA~1\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin;%PATH%
set DBI_DSN=dbi:Pg:dbname=testdb
set DBI_USER=username
set DBI_PASS=password
set POSTGRES_HOME=C:/PROGRA~1/PostgreSQL/8.3
set POSTGRES_INCLUDE=C:/PROGRA~1/PostgreSQL/8.3/include
set POSTGRES_LIB=C:/PROGRA~1/PostgreSQL/8.3/lib
perl Makefile.PL
Now here's the ugly bit: edited both EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLIBS in the resulting Makefile to include
C:\PROGRA~1\PostgreSQL\8.3\lib\libpq.lib
then
dmake
dmake test
all works fine.
