Given the discussion in this thread, I intend to mark the commitfest entry
as Withdrawn shortly. Before I do, I thought I'd first check whether 0001
[0] might be worthwhile independent of $SUBJECT. This change separates the
[un]trusted handler and validator functions for PL/Perl so that we no
longer need to inspect pg_language to determine whether to use the trusted
or untrusted code path. I was surprised to learn that you can end up with
PL/PerlU even if you've specified the trusted handler/validator functions.
Besides bringing things more in line with how PL/Tcl does things, this
change simplifies function lookup in plperl_proc_hash. I suppose such a
change might introduce a compatibility break for users who are depending on
this behavior, but I don't know if that's worth worrying about.
