Perl and DBI are fine.  You really need to stop using an alpha release
of an OS though.  There's no way to know if the problems you're
experiencing are coming from that or something else.

Once you're on a stable OS release, start testing again and let us
know if anything breaks.

But like Tom likes to say, if postgresql breaks running on an alpha OS
release, you get to keep both pieces.
