I don't see why print wouldn't work. Realize however that it will
go to the postmaster's stdout, so you'd better not have started the
postmaster with -S, and you should have redirected the postmaster's
stdout/stderr into a log file someplace.
You might have better luck printing to stderr, BTW ... that should
get flushed to the disk file once per line, whereas Perl might think
it only needs to flush stdout once per block.
Also, it looks like plperl supports elog(NOTICE, "text") and
elog(ERROR, "text"), though I haven't tried 'em.
