Thread: Use strict with plperl

Use strict with plperl

In 8.0 how does one have a plperl function use strict?

If I add "use strict" within the function body I receive an error message: "creation of Perl function failed: 'require'
trappedby operation mask..." 

If I do Create Function X AS .... Language 'plperl' strict volatile the function will compile and execute.  However if
Ido not explicitly declare any variables as my / local / global it still executes which under the strict rule should
not.

You'd have to use plperlu to be allowed to "use" anything.  It's
annoying that this blocks out perfectly safe modules like "strict",
but as far as I understand the security model we can't be more
selective.

Utterly unrelated ...
