how do I connect to an external postgresql db on ip 1.2.3.4 using DBI and perl? any other ways to do it in perl?
perldoc DBD::Pg perldoc DBI
The "perldoc" command offers access to all of Perl's built-in documentation as well as almost all modules too.
There's always more than one way to do it in Perl - you don't say what's wrong with DBI though
