That is confusing actually.
However, the readme for DBD::Pg which cpan gives a convenient
interface has installation instructions which specifically list the
requirements:
cpan[4]> readme DBD::Pg
...[lots of crap about downloading stuff]...
REQUIREMENTS:
-------------
build, test, and install Perl 5 (at least 5.6.1)
build, test, and install the DBI module (at least 1.52)
build, test, and install PostgreSQL (at least 7.4)
build, test, and install Test::Simple (at least 0.47)
DBD::Pg needs to know where to find the libpq libraries: this is usually done
by checking the output of the pg_config executable. If pg_config is
not available,
then you may need to install the development package for PostgreSQL. To do this
on Debian and Ubuntu, use: apt-get install postgresql-dev; on RedHat
and CentOS,
use: yum install postgresql-devel. Note that the development libraries
are needed
even if you already have PostgreSQL up and running.
