The release notes should point out that 7.4's plperl is unsecure unless
the correct version of Safe.pm is installed. Maybe it works to make it
croak if an unsafe version of Safe.pm is found?
I'm not sure about "living with" known security vulnerabilities. What
about ISPs which give Pg hosting with plperl installed? They surely
will want to know about this.
