Admittedly this is on a redhat machine, however all the Perl, Modperl and Apache
stuff is compiled from source or retrieved from CPAN. A Debian machine with a
similar configuration (however with apache 1.3.9 and modperl 1.21_01-dev). It
would be good if a solution can be found however it is no big deal, i just
have to convince my sysadmin to use something besides redhat, which he should
be doing anyway.

However another problem I am experiencing an ANY machine is with
Apache::Session::DBI (however other methods work fine, ie ::FILE)

when trying to create a new session using the postgres dbd driver I get the
following error:

DBD::Pg::st execute failed: ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near ""

If i try to run the perl debugger on it I find that the error occurs in the
insert method in DBIStore.pm

Attempting to print the query string works fine and I can do a manual insert
of the same data.

However if I enable DBI logging i get a query string similar to the following:

-> execute for DBD::Pg::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x81f5298)~0x81f51d8)
dbd_st_execute
dbd_st_execute: statement = >
INSERT INTO sessions (id, length, a_session) VALUES ('d729949384de79cf',41,'^C^C<
ERROR EVENT 7 'ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near ""
' on DBI::st=HASH(0x81f51d8)
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near ""
error 7 recorded: ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near ""
!! ERROR: 7 'ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near ""
'
<- execute= undef at DBIStore.pm line 143.

Is Postgres getting confused by the session information in the last field?

I have no problems with DBI connections using perl and postgres
