It urks me that PERL isn't compatible with a UNIX

Hu !?
You probably have not looked at the right place, because perl is mor than usual on any unix like machine.
Around 90% of every system scripts I saw are written in perl (and I run linux at home and work for the last 8 years)...
And the language has nothing to do with the license. You can find non-gpl PHP scripts like you can find gpl perl scripts.
It's up to the script author to choose the license, it does not derive from the language license itself. Beside, perl IS licensed on gpl.

pgsql is the shorthand to postgresSql. Postgres (as I call it) is a real relationnal database system, opposed to mysql who is not 100% relationnal (it depends of the backend).
Postgresql is fast, features full, acid compliant, and I consider it way more capable as a database engine than mysql.
Probably those folks assumed the same position, and developped that product using the postgres sql backend only.

Go look at http://www.postgresql.org/, you will find native postgresql installer for windows, if you want to try it.
So, at the end, I'd say that yes, you don't know.
But it's okay, we all had to learn. And I know it can be frustrating sometimes.
