just to clarify:
you can either use DBI together with DBD::Pg
in that case the connection is made by something like
use DBI;
my $bdh = DBI->connect('bdi:Pg:dbname=foo','user','passwd');
or, you can use the Pg module. in that case:
use Pg;
my $conn=Pg::connectdb("dbname=foo");
this is supplied by the package libpg-perl

it can be tricky to use symlinks unless you know exactly
what you are doing. for example, libpg-perl also installs
/usr/lib/perl5/auto/Pg/Pg.so
I am still not exactly clear on what you are doing, but i
hope this helps
