Pgsql_perl5 is an interface between Larry Wall's language perl version 5 and the database PostgreSQL (previously Postgres95). This has been done by using the Perl5 application programming interface for C extensions which calls the Postgres programmer's interface LIBPQ. Pgsql_perl5 tries to implement the LIBPQ- interface as close as possible. You have the choice between two different interfaces: the old C-style like interface and a new one, using a more Perl-ish like style. The old style has the benefit, that existing Libpq applications can easily be ported to perl. The new style uses class packages and might be more familiar for C++- programmers. You may distribute this module under the terms of either the GNU General Public License or the Artistic License, as specified in the Perl README file.
