Ok, updated patch attached. As far as I know, this completes all outstanding
issues:
1) weird comment in plperl.c is corrected and formatted decently
2) plperlu vs. plperl actually works (thanks again, Andrew)
3) docs included
4) regression tests included
Some items of note include that this makes the regression tests add not only
plperl to the test database but also plperlu, which is a new thing. I can't
see why this might cause problems, but thought I'd mention it. The tests
specifically try to verify that plperl doesn't allow 'use Data::Dumper', and
plperlu does. Since Data::Dumper is part of perl core, that seemed safe, but
it is another dependency, and perhaps we don't want to do that. If not, is
there some other useful way of testing plperlu vs. plperl, and does it really
matter?
