Time to repent of old habits...
I sacrificed the testdb I had manually created via pgAdmin 4 on the sin alter.
Having received forgiveness for my folly, I once again kept the ordinances of README.
This time, and only with a mustard seed of faith (since pg_ctl... failed to connect to the testdb)
I tried once more to apply README theology, and DBD::Pg 3.10.4 did indeed install.
Healing can be slow, but it has begun.
