What Perl system? The easiest thing to do is get the PostgreSQL header files, make sure the paths are set up right, and just do: cpan DBD::Pg; if you are using Vanilla or Strawberry Perl. Note that these environments ship with the GCC and MinGW build environments and have generally worked for me. However MinGW does not work properly on Vista unless SP1 is installed..... If you are using ActivePerl, I second the suggestion to get the PPM.
