Can't install on OSX 10.12.6 with cpan: Could not expand [DBD-pg]

Expected Behavior

Follow the "Install it" instructions, expect the can DBD-pg command to work

Current Behavior

Install homebrew (works just fine). Then, try to use cpan:

> cpan DBD-pg
Loading internal logger. Log::Log4perl recommended for better logging
Reading '/Users/foobar/.cpan/Metadata'

>(error): Could not expand [DBD-pg]. Check the module name.
>(info): I can suggest names if you install one of Text::Levenshtein::XS, Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::XS, Text::Levenshtein, and Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::PP
>(info): and you provide the -x option on invocation.
>(error): Skipping DBD-pg because I couldn't find a matching namespace.

Your Environment

• Version used: perl 5.28, cpan version 1.64 calling Getopt::Std::getopts (version 1.12 [paranoid])
• PostgreSQL version: 9.6.2
• Operating System and version: 10.12.6

For what it's worth, I found this command to work a moment after filing the issue:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::DBD::Pg'

[initialkommit]

cpan -i DBD::Pg
It works as well.

Incidentally, the above suggestion does NOT work (this is on a Mojave system/PostgreSQL 11.2:

It's case sensitive - cpan -i DBD::Pg works just fine (uppercase P)

D'oh! Thanks @halfdan and @initialkommit - pebkac.
