I can't seem to find it in the Cheetah book and it isn't mentioned in The man page so I ask. Does the DBD understand the different types of authentication that PostgreSQL can do? IE, if I've sent up my database to allow access using md5 password authentication will DBI/DBD do the negotiations etc. so I only have to enter the plain-text password in my program? I've typically used trust because the program ran on the same system as the database but now have a need to access from remote systems and want to, at least, obfuscate the login.
