Hi:  Yep.  Exactly.  What was fun, was, finally connecting the dots enough to 
reinstall DBI and DBD::Pg from the beginning, and hoping it would install 
into 5.6.1.  Did.  Life is good.  Question.  Would I have been able to 
explicitly direct install to occur in the perl5.6.1 during the install phase? 
 Is it a matter of editing the Makefile.PL?
Thanks,
Tom
