I have been unable to install the updated version 3.10.4 of DBD::Pg using either:
C:\>cpan DBD::Pg
cpan>install DBD::Pg

I followed the README instructions for Strawberry Perl regarding setting Windows ENVVARS for PostgreSQL and exporting DLL symbols from 'libpq.dll', but it still fails with the following errors:

dbdimp.o:dbdimp.c:(.text+0x479): undefined reference to 'PQstatus'<br>
<...etc...etc...>

as per the StackOverflow ticket details.

Doeth anyone carry in their habit a shucking knife?

Your grace is humble sought,
One who possesseth knowledge gaps.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
