So if

Umm... I'm not sure what you're talking about here. I think you are
referring to the 8KB row length limit in pre-7.1 PostgreSQL. AFAIK,
Perl imposes no such limitation. In fact, I am using a database here
based on v7.1b4 that quite happily stores records with text fields
that exceed 50KB, and I am using a Perl program on the front end to
read and write those records.

So, what 8KB limit are you talking about? If there is one that I'm not
aware of, I'd sure like to find out about it...
