A quick look at the source code says that pg_prepared_statements should
show both statements prepared with the SQL-level PREPARE command, and
statements prepared through the wire-protocol Parse message (excluding
the "unnamed" statement in the latter case). I'm not familiar with the
guts of DBD::Pg, however; it may not be "preparing" statements in any
sense that the backend knows about, but only massaging them locally to
the client library. It likely matters which version of DBD::Pg you're
talking about, too, because the backend's support for this sort of thing
has been a moving target.
