Sure.  But you don't run your middleware as root (I hope ;-)) and you
shouldn't run it in untrusted server-side languages either.  I agree
with Andrew that it's important to figure out how to make DBI usable
in trusted plperl.  Obviously this isn't happening in time for 8.0,
but it deserves a place on the TODO list.
