warning: rant imminent.
DBD::Pg is a World of Pain on mac os x. i thought i would have my
database-accessing cgi script written by now but as usual i've ended up
burning my morning fighting with yet another CPAN module on mac os x.
apache/mod_cgi works fine on jaguar out of the box, and installing
postgresql from entropy.ch was easy, as was installing DBI. but
DBD::Pg is refusing to work. anyway, enough useless bitching...

Test returned status 0 (wstat 5, 0x5)
i have omitted the remainder of the output, it just says that the other
tests are skipped.
i presume this those symbols are the names of C functions, and that
this a problem with XS code somewhere. but why the hell would a DBD
driver be interested in SSL?
i am hoping somebody else has followed this road less travelled [0] [1]
with more success and can help me.
