What version of PostgreSQL is your database? 7.3 changed the handling of booleans. Booleans can only be 't', 'true', 'y', '1', or 'f', 'false', 'n', '0'. The quotes around the string are required: 0 and 1 are not allowed.
This creates a problem for DBD::Pg since it detects Perl "booleans" as integers, and passes them without quotes. I remember that 7.3 would sometimes produce a parse error when it got an integer literal instead of giving a type error.
One solution is to make the string explicit:
$cgiparms{ 'orientation' } eq 'Landscape' ? 't' : 'f'

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
