DBD::Pg crashing on win32?

johnnywang has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I've installed DBD::Pg from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/, the installation went fine. But when I tried to connect to a local postgres 8.0.1 server, my program just crashes. Anyone else has seen this or has successfully used DBD::Pg on win32? I'm using ActiveState 5.8.3 build 809, on windows XP.

Is the problem just at the connection stage? When it crashes, is there any accompanying message with additional information? Are there any environment variables that might need setting? Does your PATH environment variable include any directories containing necessary PostgreSQL dlls?	[reply]

It happens on the connect(), and the console shows: "DBD::PgPP::st execute failed: Unknown message type: ' at test.pl line 7.", where line 7 is the call to connect().	[reply]
