I don't know exact how pl/perl works, but given that it has no idea
what type the data is, chances are it's passing it through
cstring-to-text conversion. You probably want to force it to return
bytea or some such (without going through cstring-to-bytea conversion
hopefully). I don't see a way to do it in the documentation
though...
