Yes we have implemented triggers but not SPI yet. We have been working
quite a bit on plPHP lately.
Which by the way is almost done and supports
SPI/Triggers/SETOf/Composite types :). As far as
contributing back... please feel free to take the code it is on our
website (http://www.commandprompt.com)
under community.

Our next project was to start on plPerl. We have already solicited
feedback from Andrew Dunstan and
he has offers us some ideas, as well as offered some ideas on features
(and even a patch I think) back to
hackers.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
