I downloaded DBD::Pg but the README.win32 talks about Active-Perl, NT4, and
DBD-Pg-0.95, none of which I have.  I run Win2K, Perl 5.6.1 and haven't managed
to install DBD-Pg (nor any Perl/Postgres interface or driver).

The binary package, when un-tarred, creates a 'blib' sub-directory but I have
no idea where to put this.

Also my paths don't appear to match those of the README.win32.

the problem is I'm so turned around now on this I'm not sure where to start and
what directories are what.

Could you explain to me the packages I need (and dependencies) to be able to use
perl with postresql under cygwin?  I realise I'm virtually asking for things
to be handed to me on a plate but this is only to get to 1st base in another
project (SpamAssassin with a configurable white_list).
