Simple DBI question

How do I connect to a postgres sever across a network using DBI?
I can not find an example of it anywhere in any docs.
Thanks.
Also what do I type after man to get the Pg dbi man file?

Where does one issue those commands, at a *nix command line, or as an argument to the perl interpreter, or what?

From a *nix command line.  In the DBD::Pg page, you'll see an example
of how to connect to a database.  Once you've connected to your
database, read the DBI man page to learn how to send queries to the
backend.  -sc
