Bruce Momjian ce1c20248d I have attached 5 patches (split up for ease of review) to plperl.c.
1. Two minor cleanups:

    - We don't need to call hv_exists+hv_fetch; we should just check the
      return value of hv_fetch.
    - newSVpv("undef",0) is the string "undef", not a real undef.

2. This should fix the bug Andrew Dunstan described in a recent -hackers
   post. It replaces three bogus "eval_pv(key, 0)" calls with newSVpv,
   and eliminates another redundant hv_exists+hv_fetch pair.

3. plperl_build_tuple_argument builds up a string of Perl code to create
   a hash representing the tuple. This patch creates the hash directly.

4. Another minor cleanup: replace a couple of av_store()s with av_push.

5. Analogous to #3 for plperl_trigger_build_args. This patch removes the
   static sv_add_tuple_value function, which does much the same as two
   other utility functions defined later, and merges the functionality
   into plperl_hash_from_tuple.

I have tested the patches to the best of my limited ability, but I would
appreciate it very much if someone else could review and test them too.

(Thanks to Andrew and David Fetter for their help with some testing.)

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

The JDBC, ODBC, C++, Python, and Tcl interfaces have been moved to the
PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate
maintenance.  A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
