I agree. But the question in my mind is the relationship between plperl
and plperlu. I agree with the upthread comment that it would be better
if the init strings for them were entirely separate. ISTM we have got
three categories here:
plperl init done outside Safe (must be SUSET)plperl init done inside Safe (can be USERSET)plperlu init (must be SUSET)
and there is no good reason to conflate the first and third, nor to
insist that one must be a subset of the other, which AFAICS is the
effect of the current design. So we need a naming scheme that takes
some account of this. Perhaps
plperl.plperl_initplperl.plperl_safe_initplperl.plperlu_init
?
