The following features are currently missing from PL/Perl, but they
   would make welcome contributions:
   
-       PL/Perl functions cannot call each other directly (because they
      are anonymous subroutines inside Perl).  There's presently no
      way for them to share global variables, either.
      
-       PL/Perl cannot be used to write trigger functions.
      
-       DBD::PgSPI or similar capability
      should be integrated into the standard
      PostgreSQL distribution.
