I don't think so, but then again I'm only speculating. If the Apache
people can embed an entire Perl interpreter in their Web server,
shouldn't it be possible for PostgreSQL? Or maybe the Apache people are
REALLY REAL PROGRAMMERS? :-)

As I said, I don't code C. I haven't got the time to learn it right
now, and not the time to learn PostgreSQL's internals. If my offer to
help with any Perl question I can help with is below your standards,
I'm sorry.

That remark shows that you know nothing about Perl. But it's okay; be
ignorant in your own little way ;-]

Btw. How do you define script writing as oposed to programming?
