Is that OK? Perl is dual-licensed under the GPL and the "Artistic
License", so the question is whether the Artistic License is compatible
with the PostgreSQL license. IANAL, but I couldn't immediately figure
out what the Artistic License requires, when you pick a piece of code
and modify and embed it in another project.
