While you're at it, I have a new problem:
   CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION wtf(        expression text   ) RETURNS text LANGUAGE plperl AS $$       return
"{$_[0]}";  $$; 
   try=# select wtf('foo');    wtf   -----    {   (1 row)

Note how I don't even get the closing "}". This does not happen with PL/PerlU. The denizens of #postgresql think that
there'ssome sort of issue with Safe and Encode or Encode::Alias (the latter `require`s Encode in two if its methods).
Canyou replicate it? It's driving me absolutely batshit. I'm using Perl 5.10.2, Safe 2.20, and Encode 2.39. 

Thanks,
