Jan:
I've been looking for a project to get me active in the postgresql
community after lurking since before it was (officially) PostgreSQL.
I will do the PL/Perl interface.
Perl is a great integration tool. This can be seen from the enormous
growth it its use in such areas as CGI programming. And imbedding
functionality into perl from other sources is rarely a hard problem.
But embedding perl in other applications is not as easy as it could be.
