I should know the answer to this, but I don't--Is it possible to

DBD::Pg links against libpq, so to build it you need that library
and header files like libpq-fe.h; as you've discovered, the module
uses pg_config to learn about where things are installed. At runtime
you'll probably need at least the libpq.so shared library. You
shouldn't need to have a server running or even installed, but
you'll need at least some kind of client installation.
Michael,
Thanks. Just to follow-up, are there sources to build just a client
installation? It looks to me like not. I don't have a problem
building a server on each workstation that will be accessing postgres,
but if there is a way to keep things cleaner and install only the
client (or client libraries), that would be great.
Thanks again,
Sean
