Meh, scratch that --- I missed that the caller of plperl_func_handler is
where there's a PG_TRY block that's responsible for restoring the old
value of current_call_data. It would still be interesting to nose
around and see what's in *current_call_data, as well as any of the
pointed-to data structures that exist.
