39.3. Database Access from PL/Perl
Access to the database itself from your Perl function can be done via an
experimental module DBD::PgSPI (also available at CPAN mirror sites).
This module makes available a DBI-compliant database-handle named
$pg_dbh that can be used to perform queries with normal DBI syntax.
