I'm pretty sure in 7.0 postgres, (but I may be wrong) you could insert 
directly from a perl script something like this:
   $time = time; # this gives epoch seconds
   $sql = "insert into mytable values(..., timestamp($time), ...) ";

And then the $sql string would run with the DBI call, etc.  

When I tried the same script on 7.2, it would not take it.  I think I 
once found another way to do it in 7.2.  Of course, I can create a 
formatted string in perl that will be accepted by the insert, but it 
seems inefficient to have to do it through strings.
