You need the postgresql client libraries to build the DBD driver against. You don't need to have a server up and running. If you can't install the client libraries on the client machines then you last hope is DBD::Proxy - set up a proxy server on one machine (could be the server machine itself) and then only it needs the postgresql client libraries - the clients use DBD::Proxy to connect. -- Simon Oliver
