Well, you *can* dump the info and install it into the new database easy
enough, thanks to the standardisation of SQL. It's the extensions that
get you.
Perl's Pg module is not yet available for Postgres 8.1 so I've just
finished changing a number of perl database scripts over to the Perl DBI
module. Thanks to the consistent style in which I've written my Perl
scripts, this was a very easy task.
