Hmm. You might try pulling the latest version of ppport.h from our CVS:
http://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/pl/plperl/ppport.h
to see if that fixes it. I wouldn't really expect what's in 8.3.7
to work with such a new version of Perl. If that doesn't do it, try
using a 5.8.x Perl release.
