jdolecek 2efc1afc6d Import postgresql74-plperl. This is mostly for reference unfortunately.
If perl is built with thread support, loading the language module would
crash PostgreSQL on NetBSD - loading shared module linked against libpthread
doesn't work if the main binary isn't linked against libpthread.

For this reason, this package is currently marked as BROKEN, and only
here to save packaging work for person who'd want to finish this.

PL/Perl allows you to write functions in the Perl programming language
that may be used in SQL queries as if they were built into Postgres.
The PL/Perl intepreter is a full Perl interpreter. However, certain
operations have been disabled in order to maintain the security of the
system.
