Upon needing to restore a PostGIS-enabled Postgres database, I am following instructions from the PostGIS website as of Jan 23, 2010. However, I cannot find the postgis_restore.pl script referred to by the documentation. Where is postgis_store.pl ?
Postgis_restore.pl is in the PostGIS source package

postgis_restore.pl is located in utils subdirectory of the PostGIS source. That is, it is in the tarball ( postgis-x.x.x.tar.gz ) and the source directory it unpacks to, and apparently isn't installed with a conventional make install. If you deleted your source directory after install, pick up a new copy in the referenced link below.
