I don't get it, I followed the DBI examples from
http://www.saturn5.com/%7Ejwb/dbi-examples.html and got this error:

$ perl testing.pl

DBI connect('GovPH2','postgres',...) failed: (no error string) at
testing.pl line 7
Database Connection failed!!!: ERROR: Missing '=' after 'GovPH2' in
conninfo at testing.pl line 7.

Here's the short code:
-----
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:Pg:GovPH2',
                       'username',
                       'password',
                      ) || die "Database Connection failed!!!:
$DBI::errstr";

$dbh->disconnect();
------
