Hi Folks

OS: Debian.

I just used aptitude to install Postgres V 8.3.3, and recompiled DBD::Pg
V 2.10.3.

>From the command line I can connect to Postgres, but via a CGI script or
mod_perl handler I'm getting:

<==><8==>

DBI connect('dbname=contacts','ron',...) failed: FATAL:  Ident

out what driver to use (it doesn't seem to contain a 'dbi:driver:'
prefix and the DBI_DRIVER env var is not set)
at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/Log/Dispatch/DBI.pm line 31
<==><8==>

Note the DSN has lost the prefix 'dbi:Pg:', so the error msg is correct.

If the mod_perl code uses warn "<$dsn>" I get:
<dbi:Pg:dbname=contacts, ron, ...>
as expected.

If I deliberately corrupt the command line script to use:
my($dbh) = DBI -> connect('dbname=contacts', 'ron', '...');
I get the same error msg:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ perl -I/home/ron/perl.modules/Local-Contacts/lib
~/scripts/Postgres/test.pg.pl
Can't connect to data source 'dbname=contacts' because I can't work out

Help!?
