modules(i.e. PKGLIBDIR) and adding this location to @INC during the interpreter initialization ? Another idea is to
allowa user to specify such location by adding a new custom GUC variable.

The lack of support for SPI functions makes this hardly an adequate solution. I do have both modules and SPI calls in
severalpl/perlu functions.
