Обсуждение: Probably badly timed suggestion: pl/perl calling style same as C style

With plperl.on_init allowing the loading of modules, might there be some 
merit (and little cost) in allowing the same style of function-mapping 
as with C functions?

CREATE FUNCTION add_one(integer) RETURNS integer     AS 'DIRECTORY/funcs', 'add_one'     LANGUAGE C STRICT;

CREATE FUNCTION add_one(integer) RETURNS integer     AS 'My::Package', 'add_one'     LANGUAGE plperl STRICT;

Interesting... Seems like a good idea.  But it aint gonna happen for 9.0 :(
