NAME DBD::PgPPSjis - Pure-Perl DBI driver for (not raw) ShiftJIS SYNOPSIS use DBI; $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:PgPPSjis:test',...); DESCRIPTION This software was made from DBD::PgPP to support ShiftJIS scripting. DBD::PgPPSjis is a pure-Perl client interface for the PostgreSQL database. This module implements the network protocol that allows a client to communicate with a PostgreSQL server, so you don't need an external PostgreSQL client library like libpq for it to work. That means this module enables you to connect to PostgreSQL server from platforms where there's no PostgreSQL port, or where installing PostgreSQL is prohibitively hard. INSTALLATION 1. Copy DBD/PgPPSjis.pm to @INC directory. DEPENDENCIES This module uses the following other modules and libraries: DBI IO::Socket (ships with supported Perl versions) Digest::MD5 (ships with supported Perl versions) TESTING The test suite requires access to a suitable PostgreSQL server; without that, only an extremely limited form of testing is possible. To tell the test suite how to find a PostgreSQL server, set the following environment variables: DBI_DSN (required) A DBI "data source name" indicating the location of the database. For example, to connect to the database named "abc" over a Unix-domain socket stored in /var/run/postgresql, use this DSN: export DBI_DSN='dbi:PgPPSjis:dbname=abc;path=/var/run/postgresql' Or to connect to a database of the same name, using a TCP connection to pg.example.com, use this: export DBI_DSN='dbi:PgPPSjis:dbname=abc;host=pg.example.com' See the DBD::PgPPSjis documentation for full details on what can go into a DBD::PgPPSjis DSN. DBI_USER (optional) The username to connect as; defaults to the database name DBI_PASS (optional) The password needed to allow the given user to authenticate to the server. Some configurations of PostgreSQL allow connection without a password; you don't need to set a DBI_PASS in such cases. REPORTING BUGS If you find what seems to be a bug in DBD::PgPPSjis, please use RT to report it to the maintainers: http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=DBD-PgPPSjis Please supply any information that could help with reproducing the bug. For example, if the bug only appears when DBD::PgPPSjis is used with certain database schemas, a description (or even a dump) of the schema in question would be useful.
