I went ahead and installed the p5-postgresql-plperl port and it installed
cleanly. The 'createlang plperl erp' command went through fine. The
installation recognized correctly the current versions of both PGSQL and
Perl and used them.
I am puzzled though as to why it wasn't installed previously for the older
version of PGSQL which apparently had PLPerl support!
Thanks for the assistance!
