I got around to trying it with a dusty 5.6.1 I have laying about on my
HPPA machine, and the news is not good: CREATE LANGUAGE plperl dumps
core deep inside libperl. With or without this patch.
As best I can tell at the moment, I have not tested 5.6.1 with anything
later than our 7.2 branch, so I don't know exactly where the breakage
slipped in. It may be of long standing.
Core was generated by `postgres'.
