Great news!

Sorry for this question but I'm new to the list so
wanted to get a feel before I make design changes due
to not being able to run plperl in 7.4.3-1.

So what are the next steps and timeline before we get
to install 7.4.5.-1 via cygwin?

Thanks
Kumar

did 7.4.3 work for you? stay there then, with the old perl.

we have to find and fix the ipc bugs.

BTW:
The new 8 release will come with it's own ipc lib and is much better
supported on Win32. The new beta2 will arrive on monday.
No native threads as with apache2, but still better.

I worked on the 8.0.0-beta1 this week, Jason did the 7.4.5 release.
Unfortunately the test cases didn't catch the plperl errors.
We hope to get that to the regression test suite also, so it will be
caught upstream also.

no, 7.4.3 also had the similiar issues. It would crash
on running a perl function.

I checked 8.0 beta native install and noticed that
plperl install was not available. Only pgsql was
available. Can anyone confirm if plperl will be
available in final 8.0 native install release?
