Обсуждение: plperlu
I have PostgreSQL 7.1.3, and I'm trying to discern whether plperlu is available for this version. createlang doesn't think so, a search of the docs turns up nothing, but there's been at least some talk of it on the mailing lists for some time now. What's the current status? The reason I wanted it is that we have need to call an external app based on certain inserts to the db, and I happen to be most comfortable with perl. I suppose this could be done with pltclu, but I'm not familiar with that. I also suppose that this could be done with C, but again, not familiar. The db already has pltclu going so if there's a quick example of how this would be accomplished with pltclu, I'd appreciate it! Thanks, Fran

What's the current status? 7.1.3 doesn't come with it by default. The original patch from Alex Pilosov can be found here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2001-06/msg00586.php I applied that to my 7.1.3 (before 7.2 was out) with minimal hassle. You should also be able to grab the whole dir right off CVS, I don't think there were any changes in the core that affected it. Though my knowledge there is lacking. If it's feasible, a better idea would be to upgrade to 7.2.1 which includes plperlu among many other improvements.
