At the moment, one doesn't.

This is one of a number of features that have to be finished before
plperl can be classed as more than a proof-of-concept exercise.
However, Mark Hollomon seems to have lost interest or time to work on
it, and no one else has picked up the ball.  Any volunteers out there?

As I know, plperl doesn't support that yet.
plpgsql does, so does pltcl.
