it's described in the perlfunc man page.

Also, someone posted a while back that there was a Pg module for Perl, but I 
don't know where to get it, and have not used it.

According to www.postgresql.org/index.html

Perl 5 interface for PostgreSQL :

              Edmund Mergl created the Perl 5 interface included in the 
distribution of
              PostgreSQL. Check in src/pgsql_perl5 directory.

              Email: E.Mergl@bawue.de
