Thread: plperlu and perl 5.10
I'm trying to upgrade to perl 5.10, and realized that plperlu is still using 5.8. How exactly does pgsql determine where to look/what version to use for plperlu? Thanks, Kev

You need to recompile. You also need a pretty darn recent release of PG
(we only fixed things for 5.10 on 2008-01-22, according to the CVS
history).

You should request that to your package provider. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support

I'm prepared to bet good money though that it will co-incide with whenever they ship Perl 5.10 with your system. Think about it - how happy would you have been with a plperl that *didn't* work with your default version of Perl? :-) -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd

(I went to the win32 binary readme, was that the right place to find out?) Thanks, Kev
