Not so fast there. :) First, DBD::Pg is getting the column name from Postgres.
Second, it may well be that Postgres is doing it *correct* and the other
are wrong. Certainly not echoing a function's arguments as part of the column
name seems a reasonable thing to do to me, legal or not.

postgres=# select length('abcdef');
 length
--------
      6

mysql> select length('abcdef');
+------------------+
| length('abcdef') |
+------------------+
|                6 |
+------------------+

Well, at least they agree on the "6" :)
