Ok, my vote is to build regexes into the pgsql binary or into a .so that
we distribute. There should be no need to have perl installed on a system
to run postgresql. If we are going to extend the language to improve on
the very lame sql92 like clause, we need to have it be part of the system
that can be counted on, not something you might or might not have depending
on what else is installed.
