Re: [PATCHES] WIP 2 interpreters for plperl

I might be one of the ones who depends on the same interpreter. In your new
scheme, the _SHARED hash will only be shared between like interpreters,
correct? This is going to force me to switch all of my perl code to use the
plperlu interpreter :(

My vote is to leave it just in HEAD; there may be someone out there
depending on plperl and plperlu being in the same interpreter, and
breaking their code in a minor release doesn't seem very friendly.
