Does anyone have some working examples of pl/perl using these new capabilities? The documentation in the 8.0 beta for pl/perl has not been updated and I'm looking for this information. Also, is it still possible to use untrusted pl/perl in 8.0, and if so, what are the steps for setting it up? Thank you, Brian
