- PGPERL?
- -------
-
- Pgperl is a version of Larry Wall's language perl which allows you to use
- Postgres from within perl. This has been done by using the C function
- interface of perl which calls the Postgres version 2.0 C library libpq.
-
- In order to build pgperl, you need the following stuff:
-
- o Pgperl, available from iamsun.unibe.ch [130.92.64.10].
- o Postgres version 2.0, available from postgres.berkeley.edu [128.32.149.1]
- or from iamsun.unibe.ch [130.92.64.10].
- o Perl 3.0, patchlevel 28, available from jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov
- [128.149.1.143] or from iamsun.unibe.ch [130.92.64.10].
-
- The pgperl distribution contains the following files:
-
- README This file.
- Makefile guess :-)
- pg-libpg.mus The 'mus' code for the Postgres - Perl Interface.
- pg-mus A perl script to convert pg-libpg.mus to pg-libpg.c.
- usersub.c A C function which will be called by perl to initialize the
- Postgres - Perl Interface.
- testlibpq.pl A pgperl script which shows you, how you can use Postgres
- from within perl.
-
- Pgperl has been written on a Sun SparcStation 1 under SunOS 4.0.3. I do not
- know, how well it works on other machines.
-
- Please address bug reports to Igor Metz <metz@iam.unibe.ch>. Do not expect
- rapid responses.
