Hrm. Well, as a DBA, I'd *really* like to be able to make some things available from within a Safe container, such as
Devel::NYTProf::PgPLPerlor the PostgreSQL::PLPerl::Call module that Tim's working on. Right now I can do that by
hackingwarnings.pm directly or by the method you  figured out a few weeks ago, which isn't really all that nasty. 

I'm not sure that Tim's interface is the best approach to giving DBAs the ability to do this from within PostgreSQL,
butI'm hard-pressed to come up with a better interface. But I do think it should be allowed. 

Best,

David
