Perl and PostgreSQL 7.1.2 a DBI Connection

I have compiled and installed
 PostgreSQL 7.1.2
DBD-Pg-1.01.tar.gz
DBI-1.20.tar.gz

I am running  perl, version 5.005_03
...

When I ran ./configure on PostgreSQL
7.1.2 I did so --with-perl
but make reported It could not
install because Perl libraries
were not shared.. I assume it wanted
me to have the Perl static
installed and linked.. Right or
wrong??
SQL...

So I installed the above DBD and DBI
after the PostgreSQL install..

Question ?? Do I have to do anything
else to get Perl and PostgreSQL
to work together.. Such as another
Perl Library or a Link..??
