I have tried to explain this in the text that Makefile.PL outputs, maybe you
have an idea how to write it better and could send me a patch :-)

It asks you if you want to change your already entered configuration. That's
so you don't have to enter the same things everytime you run Makefile.PL

Yes, the DB setup should be mentioned in the README, even better Makefile.PL
should try to create the database tables itself, or least verfiy that they
are exists, but that's out of my time possibilites at the moment, maybe
somebody else could pick that up...

Runing Makefile.PL of Embperl would also had make this warning go away, but
this makes no difference.

When you don't find any further problems, I think it's safe to install this
version. 1.3.4 will have some more new session stuff, but I am not sure when
it comes out.
Gerald
P.S. I send a copy of this mail to the list (also you mentioned that Honza
will send a separate mail), because more people have asked for Postgres
Session support and I guess they are interested in your positive results.
