pl-perl setup?

Hello, I'm fairly new to PostgreSQL. Does anyone have a resource for setting
up plperl from scratch? The online documentation doesn't offer much help.

It's relatively simple.

Change to the dir:

src/pl/perl

READ the README and onther docs ,  build the plperl.o and install it.

Do a createlang on your database to install it.

That's it.

Regards,

Feite

I don't seem to have this directory anywhere on my system. I guess I don't have the source distribution installed!

if yuo're a debianista, as i am, and you're running 2.2.17 (potato),
you can't get the plperl features without major upgrades (as i
understand it). some kind folks have ported the postgresql v7
stuff to potato (whereas 6.5.3 ships with debian stable) but the
plperl stuff isn't included even in the v7 debian potato version.

    # /etc/apt/sources.list -- potato-friendly v7.0.3 postgresql:
    deb http://www.samfundet.no/~tfheen/debian potato main
    # alas, no plperl yet
