It seems to me that removing line numbers from PL/perl error messages
is not a good solution to anything. Line numbers are extremely useful
for debugging purposes, and getting rid of them because one particular
testing framework doesn't know how to use regular expressions is
solving the wrong problem.
I'm also a bit confused because your original post had a line number
in the PL/pgsql output, too, just formatted slightly differently. Why
doesn't that one cause a problem?
