Huh? Seems like you already have using lisp? Ask your
sysadmin where did he got it? And meybe you/he could
post it to PostgreSQL lists too?

Or did you simply inserted a new row into pg_language?
Well, that's not the way it works. There needs to be a glue
layer between PostgreSQL and a language. You should study
code in pgsql/src/pl/{plperl,tcl} for how it is
implementer for Perl and Tcl. There is also plpgsql which
is stand-alone module.
