I have applied the following doc update for plperl, now that perl has an
--enable-shared configure option.

Maybe this should be rephrased to say that only newer versions (exactly
which?) have that option.

And why did the description say "plperl" when the patch changed
plpython? Is the patch even correct?

Sorry, plpython was the patch, and the commit has the right text. I am
typing via satelite modem, so my typing is strained.

I thought about that. The docs were pointing to an FAQ number that
doesn't exit anymore, and there is text indicating sometimes the shared
compile isn't needed, so I didn't want to hard-code a version number in
case it wasn't significant aoyway. And if I say newer, it will be
not-newer in a few years. :-)
I know Python 2.3 has the flag. I think that is the first release that
has it, but I am not sure.

If you say "x or newer" then that will be true forever unless they take
it back out. We should also try to figure out a way for people to find
out how their python was compiled rather than making them compile a new
one.
I would prefer to put more effort into giving people a procedure to
follow during PostgreSQL installation to verify the correct setup of
their system, rather than giving them a bunch of options to "try" when
they have unidentified "problems".

Sure. Anyone want to research this?
