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. |
