Thread: plperl regression tests

Is it possible to test for plperl and add some plperl tests to the 
regression suite?

I see the pg_regress installs and runs with_perl=no.
The problem is that cygwin postgres builds and runs fine, only the perl 
extensions fails (IPC problem when loading the huge perl dll).

So I really would like to add a simple plperl testcase to the standard 
distro. Just the sample from the plperl.sgml would be fine.
Any general objections?
I'll come up with a patch if not, which will check if the postmaster has 
plperl support and use it then.

Seems fine as long as the test only runs when they have asked for perl
from configure.
