Hi I have no other alternative but to connect to an old version of postgres sever that uses protocol v 2, it might be v 6 or 7, i have no control over that server, so i cant update it. What can i do to get perl to be able to Connect up to this old remote pg server? I am running ubuntu 12.04. With 8.4 postgres server loaded.
