I am working on bringing the PGObject modules into OpenBSD.

Working on PGObject, I find this in the testing:

plan skip_all => 'Not set up for db tests' unless $ENV{DB_TESTING};
# Initial setup
my $dbh1 = DBI->connect('dbi:Pg:', 'postgres') ;

plan skip_all => 'Needs superuser connection for this test script'
unless $dbh1;

How should I handle this? Just define ENV{DB_TESTING} to something?

Thanks,
