Even though you installed the db, DBI, and DBD, you might want to 
verify that each really works.  I say this because I have seen 
misleading msgs when the DBD was not working right.  They had me on a 
wild goose chase for awhile.

You can test the PostgreSQL database with psql (as you probably 
know), and write a short perl program to try to successfully connect 
to the db to test DBI and DBD.

Come to think of it, it would be nice to have short test programs 
that come along with the installation SW.  Or better yet, built-in 
tests that check connectivity and db before attempting to service the 
customer request...
