In the PL/Perl documentation under missing features, it is observed that
PL/Perl cannot be used to write functions and that DBD::PgSPI is not
integrated in the standard PostgreSQL distribution. These features are
indeed missing, and would be great to have. Is there any active
development in that direction, or are they just on the wish list of the
distant future?
Thanks,
Nick Addington

The folks at CommandPrompt have made some noise about developing these
features, and I believe they actually have implemented trigger functionality
in plperl. I am not sure if they are going to contribute thier changes back
to the community or not, but if you were planning on implementing these
features it might be worth talking with them.

Yes we have implemented triggers but not SPI yet. We have been working
quite a bit on plPHP lately.
Which by the way is almost done and supports
SPI/Triggers/SETOf/Composite types :). As far as
contributing back... please feel free to take the code it is on our
website (http://www.commandprompt.com)
under community.
Our next project was to start on plPerl. We have already solicited
feedback from Andrew Dunstan and
he has offers us some ideas, as well as offered some ideas on features
(and even a patch I think) back to
hackers.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
