+PERL
+----
+
+If you want to use some of the Perl scripts that access the database,
+you'll need the DBI and DBD::Pg Perl modules.  On Red Hat systems (and
+variants), you can get them by installing the libdbi and libdbd-pgsql
+packages.  On Debian systems (and variants), the packages are called
+libdbi-perl and libdbd-pg-perl.
+
+  You'll also need to install utils/include.pl to
+/usr/lib/gforge/lib/, and put some configuration variables into
+/etc/gforge/local.pl.  In particular, you'll need something like:
