I could do that...of course, Kaare, you'd have to buy me a pint.
I hope to be at a conference in Paris next spring...maybe I'll
stop by. Or we could meet in Antwerpen. ;-)

Not yet.
BTW, this is not any advanced code, it is basic, `how do I connect'
stuff. But it is clear and correct - unlike what you see in `Advanced
Perl Programming'.
The reason I mentioned it to Jeff is that he's in Sales and it's good
to see Pg mentioned (albeit indirectly) in one of the trades...it is
a pet peeve that MySQL and mSQL get all the press. I suppose they
are decent databases and deserve coverage but postgres beat out both
of them in my shop. I wish Tim O'Reilly would notice that lots of
use _rely_ on postgres...
How goes the accounting project? I had to refocus on my clinical
software as we have dumped all proprietary databases (shut down our
last PROGRESS database yesterday) and I have lots of code to write.
Speaking of which --- back to work!
Cheers,
Tom
