At the DBI level anyway, you can use this:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-Pg/Pg.pm#pg_placeholder_dollaronly_(boolean)

If you set that DBD::Pg option, then literal ? are not treated as placeholders 
and you instead have to use other forms like $1,$2 etc or named placeholders; on 
the plus side, those also let you use the same placeholder more than once in a 
statement rather than having to pass in the same bind value multiple times.

This being said, I don't know if DBIx::Class is compatible with that way of 
using PostgreSQL, not that this can't change.
