If you mean emulate the pg_dump, no. pg_dump does a *lot* of stuff behind the scenes, and trying to rewrite all that in Perl would be madness. And I say that having written some serious madness into DBD::Pg already :). Stick with the shell script, even if it means calling system. If you simply want to avoid the pipes, you can think about calling pg_dump from the remote box, using a authorized_keys with a specific command in it, and other tricks, but nothing will be as straightforward and error proof as the line you gave, I suspect. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@xxxxxxxxxxxx End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com/ PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201005101331 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAkvoQ20ACgkQvJuQZxSWSsiaqQCgv6698Bo37q7cVuVngZJez11M 4nEAoOmYW8EFDbjBFtAR4qDZLmHRhNPa =NUq2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
