there are 2 variants of the language: plperl and plperlu
plperlu is 'untrusted', that is, it is allowed to do dangerous stuff,
but plperl is more limited and can be used by a user without privileges.
OTOH, i doubt that fork is allowed even in plperlu, as i
imagine it could have weird effects on the backend.
