I've recently been looking for a precompiled version of DBD-Pg and for Activestate Perl 5.8 you can download the necessary files from http://www.blingforyourring.com/DBD-Pg.tar.gz They are not wrapped (as yet) in a proper PPM but I copied the appropriate file to their appropriate directories and it seems to work OK - only 2 days experimentation so far. The .bs,.dll,.exp and .lib files need to be copied to site\lib\auto\DBD\Pg - .pm file needs to be copied into site\lib\DBD and .html file into html\site\lib\DBD. This is compiled for Activestate Perl 5.8 and will not work with 5.6, I've successfully used DBD-PgPP with 5.6 so if you want to stick with 5.6 give it that a try.
