The attached patch removes those Asserts.
But this is not the whole story. I wonder why setting "plperl.use_strict"
is supposed to work at all? Where is the corresponding definition of
"plperl" as a custom variable class? I can add it manually to
postgresql.conf and make the regression tests work but is this the intended
way?
