The version in CVS should work with threading, but the version on CPAN
does not yet. You can download a cvs copy:
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/dbdpg/projdisplay.php
or just add these three lines to Pg.pm and recompile:
diff -c -r1.37 Pg.pm
*** Pg.pm 10 Jun 2003 19:14:53 -
1.37
--- Pg.pm 22 Jun 2003 21:22:31 -
***
*** 38,43

$errstr = ""; # holds error string for DBI::errstr
$drh = undef; # holds driver handle once initialized
+ sub CLONE {
+ $drh = undef ;
+ }
+
sub driver{
return $drh if $drh;
my($class, $attr) = @_;

I've tried it and it seems to work just fine.

informational notice in Makefile.PL
Hi!
In an attempt to simplify the install process for dependencies with my
modules, I have been using the ExtUtils::AutoInstall module. (Great
module, BTW :) ) But, with the current state of affairs with mod_perl
and its availability from CPAN, I wanted to through an information
notice to the effect of, "if you are planning to use mod_perl2 and
apache2, you will have to answer no here, and manually download it from
perl.apache.org..." I contacted Autrijus Tang, the maintainer of
ExtUtils::AutoInstall, and asked him if it was possible, (I didn't see
it documented), and he answered with this:
# notify the user about mod_perl 2
BEGIN { print q{
NOTICE *
If you are planning to use mod_perl2 and Apache2, please, do not
answer yes when prompted to install mod_perl. You will need to
download mod_perl2 manually from
http://perl.apache.org/download/index.html
*
} }
I placed it after the first BEGIN block and voila! I am communicating :)
Hope this helps someone.
