I downloaded the new PostgreSQL 9.0 and it isn't quite there yet:
-bash-3.2$ NEWDATADIR=`pwd`
-bash-3.2$ OLDBINDIR=/usr/bin
-bash-3.2$ NEWBINDIR=/opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/
-bash-3.2$ pg_upgrade

Failed to load library: $libdir/plperl
ERROR: could not load library "/opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/lib/postgresql/

directory
That means that the new version (EnterpriseDB binary installer) doesn't
support plperl/plperlu . Unfortunately, I have functions written in
plperl and plperlu. Playing with the new version will have to wait a bit.
