in pghackers list. Support for oldstyle internal functions is gone
(no longer needed, since conversion is complete) and pg_language entry
'internal' now implies newstyle call convention. pg_language entry
'newC' is gone; both old and newstyle dynamically loaded C functions
are now called language 'C'. A newstyle function must be identified
by an associated info routine. See src/backend/utils/fmgr/README.
maintained for each cache entry. A cache entry will not be freed until
the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates
worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See
my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.
7.0.2 release. Sorry, if that's fixed ages ago - I don't track
development versions of PostgreSQL.
Patch is just a little bit tested (some valid functions created and
successfully run as well as some erroneous ones created and emitted proper
error messages when used).
My platform is FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT (with perl 5.6.0 provided in the
base system).

inputs have been converted to newstyle. This should go a long way towards
fixing our portability problems with platforms where char and short
parameters are passed differently from int-width parameters. Still
more to do for the Alpha port however.
key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle.
An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL
handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions).
NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.
3 new files and two patches for the plperl subdir.
These changes add the ability for plperl functions
to call 'elog'. It also sets up the frame work to
allow me to add access to the SPI functions.

that kept me from making perl secure.
Attached is uuencoded tarball to add PL/perl
to postgresql.
Things I know don't work.

The README file has a _VERY_ short tutorial.
