just one more thing to learn - haven't had time.  plus i'd read some things
about speed issues and hadn't had time to investigate.  what are you opinions
of it?


turns out (this took me a LONG time to determine) that the postgres.so lib has
dependancies on other libs which are not to be found in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(empty) of the default cgi environment but that WERE found in my own
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

it's a little troublesome that 'require' is unable to throw for this sort of
error...

anyhow, i'm unsure of where to go from here

  - install postgress libs in /usr/lib
  - modify ENV of running cgi
  - staticaly link the postgres lib

  ???

any opinions on this?
