Hi Greg thanks for writing: I know the server I am trying to connect to is not 7.4 or above. All I ever do with this old server is to run select queries. The error happens when I attempt to execute the select query. I updated my distribution of ubuntu and I had this set up to use an older version of DBD::Pg which according to my records may've been 1.49-5. I couldn't find that one from the CPAN site so I downloaded 1.32. I got this when I tried to do make: make cp Pg.pm blib/lib/DBD/Pg.pm /usr/bin/perl -p -e "s/~DRIVER~/Pg/g" /usr/lib/perl5/auto/DBI/Driver.xst > Pg.xsi /usr/bin/perl
