Thread: PL/Perl
Are there any caveats as to which versions PL/Perl works with? I am running PostgreSQL v7.0.2 and Perl 5.005_03, and I built postgres using the --with-perl option. I built the plperl code and copied the resulting plperl.so into my postgres distributions lib directory. I am able to do a createlang for plperl, but when I execute any code in a stored procedure, the backend crashes. Any body have any ideas? Wade Oberpriller StorageTek oberpwd@network.com

5.005_03 is what I have installed here. The only problem I've had is
that a stock Perl installation does not build a shared version of
libperl; you have to ask for one while configuring perl.

when i did what's described below, i had no problems at all with PL/Perl (and, in fact, am using it for a couple of triggers that are lightly used in a production environment) http://www.postgresql.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/pl/plperl/README?rev=1.2&content-type=text/x-cvsweb- markup you can email me directly if you're still having trouble regards ed.bridges On Mon, 13 Nov 2000 09:58:31 -0600 (CST), Wade D.
