When we installed DBD::Pg, it magically 'found' that postgres was
installed in the local (admin) folder instead of /usr/local. All
DBD::Pg test ran as fine.

BUT when code runs as a CGI, the CGI user 'www' apparently cannot
access the postgres libraries. A quick attempt at setting a library's
permissions (libq ?) was no help.

suggestions welcome

How do you know 'www' can't access the libraries? What is the error?

I am not at the machine at this moment, but, two knowledgeable people
looked carefully at the logs and said that this was the case. I will
be there on the show floor at LinuxWorld later today. Suggestions
welcome.

a manual fix of permissions did the trick.. nothing more exotic than
that.
