The same is true of PL/PgSQL, though ;-)

The main advantage of PL/Perl is that it doesn't rely on the SPI to do
everything. It's interpreted not compiled, but it has a much faster
approach to interpretation than PL/PgSQL.

Really, the right choice depends on exactly what the OP is doing and
how, which they're not saying.

Where's the code?
