use Pg;
my $conn = Pg::connectdb('dbname="fooTM"');
does not work:
FATAL: database ""footm"" does not exist
It is a problem of libpg-perl, because
psql fooTM
does work.
According to
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgperl/bugs/bugupdate.php?810
this is a known bug (but seems to be open for three years). That bugreport
proposes to one line fix. On the other hand, the code in Pg.xs does not check
the
parameters carefully, so I'd suggest to apply the following patch:
diff -ur libpg-perl-2.1.1/Pg.xs libpg-perl-2.1.1new/Pg.xs

(I tested it and it does work for me).
