Applied with editorialization; see comments below. Thanks for the patch.

Needs a <filename/> and a <literal/>. Also the <xref/> doesn't compile
using openjade 1.3.1

CREATE FUNCTION ... AS $$ ... $$ LANGUAGE plperl; would be more
consistent with the other PL/Perl examples.

Should probably use ">" not ">".

This needs more work -- the difference in behavior between spi_query()

I didn't see why this was relevant, so I didn't apply it.
