Обсуждение: padding an integer ...

Is there any way of "padding" an integer, similar to how, in perl, I would 
do:

printf("%03d", 1);

to get:

001

Specifically, I'm looking to do this in a pl/pgsql function ... like to 
avoid moving to pl/php or pl/perl if I can ... but, from what I've been 
able to find, I suspect I'm not going to have much of a choice ...
