I am running ubuntu 12.04. With 8.4 postgres server loaded. Where exactly is it failing? DBD::Pg can still talk to old server, but it is very, very limited in what it can do. Your best option is probably to download an old version of DBD::Pg. Find out what version of Postgres it is, then visit CPAN and see what is available in about the same time frame as that version of Postgres. DBD::Pg has downloads available all the way back to version 1.10 in 2002. You may need to download an older version of Postgres (libpq) to compile against as well. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@xxxxxxxxxxxx End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com/ PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201306082310 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAlGz8m8ACgkQvJuQZxSWSsh7uACgyaZfQ+u0buTJAA3uwiFW+0dY 5JsAoKmpdYDTt8DLwbUJze5tUuWUuiVl =QFzD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
