What version of PostgreSQL are you using?  PL/Perl trigger functions
are supported only in 8.0 and later.

It's not clear what you're having trouble with.  Getting the event
info?  If so then see the documentation for the $_TD hash reference:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/plperl-triggers.html

If something else then please be more specific.

That might not be the best design because the log file won't have
transaction semantics.  Suppose you update the table and write a
message to the log file, then some other program reads the log file
and does something based on the update, then you roll back the
update.  Now you've done something based on an update that effectively
didn't happen.  You might wish to consider using NOTIFY and LISTEN
if you want to do event notification.
