Yes, perl(DBI) is the canonical way to connect to a database
from Perl. You will need the DBD::Pg driver too.
Both modules can be obtained from CPAN (e.g. http://www.cpan.org),
maybe there are even binary packages for your operating
system available.
I'd use the latest stable version.

Hi,
Whats the difference between a module and a bundle as i can see while
downloading DBI from
CPAN website.
What exactly needs to be downloaded . I'm kind of not sure about it.
Thanks,
Jas
